This book has been written not for specialists but for nature-lovers who are visiting Cuba and are interested in identifying the island s flowering herbaceous plants, vines, bushes and trees, whether they be in cities, on the beach, or in the island s woods, savannas or mountains. In this book, the reader will find over a hundred flowering plants. In each case there is an explanatory text and the book also includes a glossary of botanical terms, although efforts have been made to avoid verbal technicalities.
