Why monographs?
Through these scientific works we hope to encourage the enjoyment and use of a wider range of cultivated plants in gardens and landscapes. Furthermore, we hope to improve plant identification and promote plant conservation, cultivation, use, selection and plant breeding.
These monographs will, over time, strengthen the global knowledge bank on gardening and garden plants, and act as a confirmation of the importance of the RHS as an international centre of excellence of horticultural taxonomy.
