About 15 years after the first edition of the Handbook of Aizoaceae, a wealth of changes can be reported for the family Aizoaceae, and this second edition brings a completely new survey over all taxonomic units from subfamilies down to species and subspecies; each critically examined. Of the presently known 2956 species, 1594 have been accepted and are described here, arranged in 147 genera. Six genera have been newly described since 2001, namely Brianhuntleya, Hammeria, Knersia, Phiambolia, Ruschiella, and Volkeranthus, and only one has been placed newly into synonymy (Caulipsilon). All synonymous genus names are treated with the valid genus names. Preliminary molecular studies are referred to, for which different groups of markers at different levels like species, genera, subgenera, and further ranks have been used. The basic division into four subfamilies is supported by more recent studies, yet with some genera being shifted. Furthermore, the geographical distribution of each genus is shown on one map each: either worldwide, or restricted to Southern Africa. For these latter, the main rainfall seasons are delimited by blue lines in order to offer also parameters for cultivation.

This second edition provides a comprehensive list of the latest taxonomy including the updated relevant plant data. Following an introduction to the leaf-succulent family Aizoaceae, including keys to the subfamilies and genera, all genera with keys to the subgenera and succulent species are described in detail.

3.0 out of 5 stars not my first choice as a Mesemb reference
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2017
Verified Purchase
I probably would not have purchased this book if I'd had an opportunity to see it before purchase. My primary interest is Lithops so my initial examination involved this genus section. Although there are a rather large number of species in this genus, only three very small photos of low resolution are included. However, there is a key to Lithops species which may be useful once you learn the acronyms used to describe pattern features. I have a strong basic Botany background and grad school level familiarity with reference materials. If you have a non-academic interest in this group of plants, this book may not be particularly useful. For those interested in Lithops, there are a number of less expensive and much more useful references available (Lithops - Treasures of the Veld by Steven A. Hammer (2010-08-02) by Steven A. Hammer, THE NEW GROWING THE MESEMBS by Ed Storms, and WILD LITHOPS by Harald Jainta which are often available via specialty plant book sellers for reasonable prices).
