Growing and collecting cacti has long been one of the most actively and enthusiastically followed areas of popular horticulture. Today, a whole range of cacti is available, but it is still the smaller species, especially the 'globular' cacti which constitute the most commonly sought after and collected types.
In spite of wide popularity of these plants and the plethora of literature on them aimed at the grower, never before has there been a single source of reference where the enthusiast can find the name, plus a color illustration of virtually every 'globular' cactus. In this book, Rod and Ken Preston-Mafham have documented and photographed over 1100 species and varieties.
The entries are presented alphabetically and as well as details of the plant, each contains a full list of alternative names which have been given to the species described. In addition, all of these synonyms have been compounded into an extensive index, through which the grower can discover what the authors consider to be the most authentic name for any particular plant.
