is the conifers (pines, cypresses, and relatives), followed by cycads, Gnetophytes (Gnetum, Ephedra and Welwitsch- ia), and Ginkgo (a single living species).
This book, written mainly in English, partly in Dari, gives a synoptic overview of all the known vascular plants in Afghanistan. It is the first augmented checklist for the country and was compiled from many information sources, recent and old, especially Flora Iranica (1963 ff.). It is a natural follow-up to the profusely illustrated Field Guide Afghanistan (BRECKLE & RAFIQPOOR, 2010). Among its many attributes, the checklist enables us to state, with some confidence, that the total number of Afghan vascular plant species is about 5,000, a considerably higher total than previously thought; species endemism is c. 24 %. The alphabetical sequence of taxa, families and genera, the photographs and the tabular presentation of data make it user-friendly for everybody, not just taxonomists. The distribution maps serve different purposes even though, at this stage of our knowledge, they are inevitably a first step and are, for example, an incentive for local botanists to make them more definitive. They also draw attention to the endemics. Likewise, the detailed nomenclatural and literature information provide a strong and accurate framework for any kind of future research and the conservation management of the rich and varied plant life of Afghanistan.

Dedication



This augmented checklist of the Vascular Plants of Afghanistan is dedicated to the indefatigable Wilhelmina RECHINGER. She was the wife of K.H. RECHINGER (1906– 1998) the initiator, major contributor and editor of Flora Iranica. The first part of this remarkable Flora appeared almost 50 years ago, and Wilhelmina’s support to the project was, from its inception and in very many different ways, fundamental to the smooth and regular appearance of family fascicles. After Prof RECHINGER’s death, she took over the main reins of editorship and now in 2013, with 180-181 family fascicles published, the successful conclusion of this Flora, dealing with a large part of SW Asia and over 10,000 species, is now very near. Her contributions have been, and are, invaluable. All botanists, not just those with SW Asiatic interests, owe her a huge debt of gratitude. Without Flora Iranica, and the dedicated work of the two RECHINGERs, this checklist would not have been possible.
