Neotropikey v2

  • The literature on the Compositae is vast, although within the Flora area there are relatively few full (or state-based) floristic treatments for the family (Argentina - in progress, Guianas, Venezuela, Mexico - in progress, Santa Catarina, Brazil - in progress). Checklists exist for several countries (e.g. Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador), but some floras are historical and considerably out of date (e.g. Brazil). There are very few Flora Neotropica monographs available for any part of the family. The Kubitzki volume of the Families and Genera of Vascular Plants on the Asterales, vol. VIII, covers the family, at tribal and generic level, comprehensively for the first time with keys to most taxa down to genera. Significant literature is listed at length in this volume. Hind, D.J.N. (2011) onwards).  Preliminary checklist (with keys to genera) of the Compositae (Asteraceae) of Bolivia.  http://www.kew.org/science/tropamerica/boliviacompositae/index.html.
