However, cycads are actually a unique assemblage of primitive plants that have been around for at least 250 million years. They have become highly sought after for gardens, both private and public, and their present status as endangered plants has engendered an upsurge of interest in their conservation. With \u003ci\u003eCycads of the World\u003c\/i\u003e, David Jones has achieved that difficult task of writing a scientifically accurate text, which is both easy to read and to understand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor this second edition David Jones has added information covering over 100 new species and subspecies of cycads, and updated his material on the 200 species from the first edition.
