Echeveria, The Genus, John Pilbeam

John Pilbeam has created an impressive compendium. He has studied this genre for 60 years and has collected his knowledge in this book. He presents more than 140 species with subspecies and varieties in detail (distribution, care instructions, propagation tips, but also scientific aspects such as herbar information up to the chromosome numbers), even a number of incompletely documented species are presented.
