The tropics with their lush rainforests are extremely rich in plant life but are still comparatively unknown. Botanists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew have a long tradition of exploring and plant collecting in the tropics, accumulating an unsurpassed practical knowledge of the tropical plants they encounter. This second edition of The Kew Tropical Plant Families Identification Handbook brings together this knowledge in a guide to the commonly encountered and ecologically important plants of the tropics. Written by Kews experts, this handbook is based on Kews Tropical Plant Identification course, which uses classical morphology, as well as more simple 'spot' characters, to teach plant identification.

6cm - Baby Plant

Should you encounter any issues with an order, simply contact our customer support team at info@houseofkojo.com within 7 days of receiving your order. To streamline the process please provide your order number, full name and several clear photos of the damaged plant.
If the plant is damaged and you wish to return it, we will collect the plant at our cost, and issue a full refund. Please note this can take up to 7 days to appear in your bank account.
Please be aware that refunds will not be processed after the guarantee period. This is because we can not guarantee the care and environment the plant has been kept in. Repotting your plant within this time frame will also void our guarantee.
