The Genus Lesquerella (Cruciferae) in North America

Harvard University Press has partnered with De Gruyter to make available for sale worldwide virtually all in-copyright HUP books that had become unavailable since their original publication. The 2,800 titles in the “e-ditions” program can be purchased individually as PDF eBooks or as hardcover reprint (“print-on-demand”) editions via the “Available from De Gruyter” link above. They are also available to institutions in ten separate subject-area packages that reflect the entire spectrum of the Press’s catalog. More about the E-ditions Program »

The need for a new monographic treatment of the genus Lesquerella (mustard family) has been evident for many years. Authors Reed Rollins and Elizabeth Shaw summarize three decades of field, greenhouse, and herbarium research in this detailed study of the North American species of the genus, including L. arctica. They cover sixty-nine species and twenty-nine infraspecific taxa that range in occurrence from the arctic to southern Mexico. Nearly sixty photographs and maps document their text.
