1) FLORA OF MADAGASCAR AND THE COMORO ISLANDS / FLORE DE MADAGASCAR ET DES COMORES: Boraginales, Olacaceae and allies, Apiaceae (= Faune et Flore tropicales, Vol. 50). Editors: James S. Miller, Zachary S. Rogers, Valéry Malécot, Fátima Sales and Ian C. Hedge
From 2021, the series Flore de Madagascar et des Comores is integrated into the series Faune et Flore tropicales as a sub-series. All volumes are grouped into a thematic 'Flora of Madagascar and the Comoro Islands'. The series Faune et Flore tropicales publishes, in French or English, books for the identification of animals, plants and fungi from tropical regions. Hitherto published by the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD), the series is since 2002 continued jointly by that institution and the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle collections.
Madagascar, the 'red Island', hosts a distinctive and highly diverse flora estimated to comprise about 14,000 species of vascular plants, about 83 % of which are endemic. Endemism is also significant among genera, and the island also has 5 endemic families of angiosperms. This exceptional diversity results mainly from the wide array of eco-geographic conditions reflecting the island's range of substrates, elevations, and bioclimates. The estimated number of species in the Malagasy flora is increasing year after year, thanks to ongoing collecting efforts in the field and research leading to the description of new species. Taxonomic treatments like those presented here provide a significant contribution to our understand of Madagascar immense plant diversity and document the need for its urgent and effective conservation.
The present volume includes taxonomic revisions of 3 groups of Angiosperms. Within the order Boraginales, the circumscription of families has been extensively. 5 of the 11 families currently recognized occur on Madagascar, and are treated in the first part of the volume : Boraginaceae, Coldeniaceae, Cordiaceae, Ehretiaceae, and Heliotropiaceae. Significant changes have also impacted the classification of the family Olacaceae since it was first treated in 'Flora of Madagascar and the Comoro Islands' in 1955. The previously recognized order Olacales has been merged into the Santalales, and Olacaceae were divided into 8 monophyletic families, 3 of which occur on Madagascar and are treated in the second chapter. The 3rd contribution to this volume deals with Apiaceae, where only a few changes have occurred. The treatment of the 15 genera present on Madagascar is complemented with an overview of the cultivated members of the family present on the island.
In keeping with the revised format of the 'Faune et flore tropicales' collection, this volume includes, for each of the 3 chapters, a general overview of the families followed by detailed descriptions of the species, comprising accurate and up-to-date taxonomic and nomenclatural information, and line drawings for nearly all species along with many photographs; identification keys are provided in English and in French, and a distribution map is given for each species separately; preliminary risk of extinction assessments are also provided based on the UICN Red List requirements.

6) Botanica Ausgabe 2022: Klimawandel im Pflanzenreich
Die jährlich erscheinende Zeitschrift der Schweizerischen Botanischen Gärten. Schwerpunktthema 2022: Klimawandel im Pflanzenreich.
Der Klimawandel ist auch in der Pflanzenwelt spürbar, insbesondere wärmere und trockenere Sommer sowie gehäufte Extremereignisse führen zu grossen Veränderungen. Mit der neuen Publikation «Klimawandel im Pflanzenreich - Alpine Pflanzen im Fokus» werden nebst 24 botanischen Gärten der Schweiz auch 24 alpine Pflanzenarten porträtiert und ihre Reaktionen auf den Klimawandel aufgezeigt. So führt die Erderwärmung beispielsweise dazu, dass viele Pflanzenarten im Gebirge in höheren Lagen wachsen und ihr Verbreitungsgebiet ausdehnen. Allerdings gibt es auch Verlierer: einige Arten werden seltener und besiedeln ein schmaleres Höhenspektrum als noch vor etwa 50 Jahren.
Seit 1972 besteht eine Interessengemeinschaft der botanischen Gärten der Schweiz und 1996 wurde der Verein Hortus Botanicus Helveticus (HBH) gegründet. Er setzt sich für die Erhaltung nationaler und internationaler Pflanzensammlungen ein. Er unterstützt und fördert zudem Aktivitäten im Bereich des Artenschutzes in Zusammenarbeit mit regionalen und nationalen Fachstellen und bietet Fortbildungen für das Personal der botanischen Gärten an. Seit 2007 organisiert der Verein die BOTANICA, eine Initiative der botanischen Gärten.
2022, Haupt, 144 S., 3 Karten, rund 60 Fotos und Illustrationen, ca. 19,00 EUR (erscheint voraussichtlich Mai 2022, Bestellungen werden vorgemerkt)

Flora of Sikkim - A Pictorial Guide, lists 4,912 naturally occurring flowering plants in the tiny Himalayan State. The total number of naturally occurring flowering plants in the country is about 18,004 species, and with 4,912 species, the diversity of flowering plants in Sikkim, spread over an area of 7,096 sq. km, is very unique.
The State, which is a part of the Kanchenjunga biosphere landscape, has different altitudinal ecosystems, which provide opportunity for herbs and trees to grow and thrive. The publication details 532 species of wild orchids (which is more than 40% of all orchid species found in India), 36 species of rhododendron and 20 species of oak, and more than 30 species of high-value medicinal plants, among other species.

5) Der Botanische Garten Hamburg - 200 Jahre Gartenlust und Forschergeist
Er ist einer der ältesten und populärsten wissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen der Hansestadt - der Botanische Garten der Universität Hamburg. 1821 vor den Toren der Stadt am Dammtor gegründet, präsentiert sich der Alte Botanische Garten heute als Naturidylle und Gartenkunstwerk inmitten der Großstadt. Der 1979 in Klein Flottbek eröffnete Neue Botanische Garten, der seit 2012 den Namen von Loki Schmidt trägt, bietet auf 24 Hektar eine eindrucksvolle Pflanzenvielfalt und gilt als eine der schönsten Parkanlagen der Stadt. Der zum 200. Jubiläum herausgegebene Bildband erzählt die spannende Geschichte des Neuen Botanischen Gartens in Klein Flottbek, aber auch die des Alten Botanischen Gartens in Planten un Blomen. Er zeigt, dass die Geschichte der Naturwissenschaft zugleich auch ein wichtiger Teil der Stadtgeschichte ist. Man erfährt, wie vielfältig die Arbeit der Wissenschaftler:innen und Gärtner:innen vor Ort ist und was der Garten für die akademische Lehre und die Bildung der Bevölkerung bedeutet. Daruüber hinaus stellt das Buch besondere Pflanzen vor, die zu ihrer Zeit Stadtgespräch waren und informiert über die aktuellen Aufgaben Botanischer Gärten bei der Erhaltung der Artenvielfalt. Dabei gibt es in dem Band sogar für Kenner des Hamburger Stadtgrüns viel zu entdecken, durch seine opulente Bebilderung und die kenntnisreichen griffigen Texte.
Die Herausgeber: Barbara Engelschall ist Mitarbeiterin der Hamburger Umweltbehörde und war viele Jahre freiberuflich für den Botanischen Garten tätig. Hans-Helmut Poppendieck ist Vorsitzender des Botanischen Vereins zu Hamburg und der Stiftung Internationaler Gärtneraustausch. Er war von 1973-1987 Kustos am Botanischen Garten Hamburg.

6) Botanica Ausgabe 2022: Klimawandel im Pflanzenreich
Die jährlich erscheinende Zeitschrift der Schweizerischen Botanischen Gärten. Schwerpunktthema 2022: Klimawandel im Pflanzenreich.
Der Klimawandel ist auch in der Pflanzenwelt spürbar, insbesondere wärmere und trockenere Sommer sowie gehäufte Extremereignisse führen zu grossen Veränderungen. Mit der neuen Publikation «Klimawandel im Pflanzenreich - Alpine Pflanzen im Fokus» werden nebst 24 botanischen Gärten der Schweiz auch 24 alpine Pflanzenarten porträtiert und ihre Reaktionen auf den Klimawandel aufgezeigt. So führt die Erderwärmung beispielsweise dazu, dass viele Pflanzenarten im Gebirge in höheren Lagen wachsen und ihr Verbreitungsgebiet ausdehnen. Allerdings gibt es auch Verlierer: einige Arten werden seltener und besiedeln ein schmaleres Höhenspektrum als noch vor etwa 50 Jahren.
Seit 1972 besteht eine Interessengemeinschaft der botanischen Gärten der Schweiz und 1996 wurde der Verein Hortus Botanicus Helveticus (HBH) gegründet. Er setzt sich für die Erhaltung nationaler und internationaler Pflanzensammlungen ein. Er unterstützt und fördert zudem Aktivitäten im Bereich des Artenschutzes in Zusammenarbeit mit regionalen und nationalen Fachstellen und bietet Fortbildungen für das Personal der botanischen Gärten an. Seit 2007 organisiert der Verein die BOTANICA, eine Initiative der botanischen Gärten.
2022, Haupt, 144 S., 3 Karten, rund 60 Fotos und Illustrationen, ca. 19,00 EUR (erscheint voraussichtlich Mai 2022, Bestellungen werden vorgemerkt)
