This is an authoritative monograph on the cultivar classification of Osmanthus fragrans, the first of it's kind on this very popular species.The Editor-in chief is professor Xiang Qibai of Nanjing Forestry University, who is a member of the International commission for the Nomenclature of Cultivated Plants
of IUBS, and the Vice-chairman of the Working Committee of the Chinese Horticultural Society for the Nomenclature and Registration of Cultivated Plants. A highly respected and authoritative systematic batanist, professor Xiang has carried out detailed research in the Family Araliaceae and also on the genus Osmanthus in the Family Oleaceae. During the last two decades, Professor Xiang, together with his colleagues and postgraduate students, has been deeply involved in studying the many cultivars of Osmanthus fragrans, a species that has a very long tradition of cultivation in China. Based on the principles of International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) and the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN),Professor Xiang and his team have conducted systematic and comprehensive surveys of O.fragrans cultivars throughout China, and have reclassified scientifically and standardized the old cultivars of O.fragrans in China. Some new cultivars have also been recorded and named. The number O.fragrans of cultivars described has increased during this research program from around 40 to over 16. Over 4000 high quality photographs have been taken of these cultivars and large numbers of herbarium specimens have been collected. This comprehensive account includes over 120 carfully selected, high quality photographs of O.fragrans cultivars.
