As reviewed by Christopher Grey-Wilson in June 2011 The Alpine Gardener Bulletin -
"This attractive book, published in Italian ( but don't let that put you off) is a must for the alpine gardener's bookshelf...This rather a long review but this is an important work, deserving of such consideration. The text is detailed, informative and well presented and the book is lavishly illustrated by numerous good sized photographs of mostly good quality..."

Other Plant Genera
- http://www.hepatica.eu
Welcome to our homepage for Hepatica. Here you can get seeds, read articles, get informations on growing, propagation, diseases etc.
The site is under construction and will be regularly updated. Wishes for seeds and questions may be directed to guth@webspeed.dk - http://www.alpines.be/androsaceworld/
This website has been designed for people who love Androsace species. It is far from complete: I hope to gradually build it up, adding photographs as they come along. Due to a busy schedule, I might not always manage as much time for the site as I'd want to. Thank you for taking patience with occasional slow-downs.
Many photographs shown here will be of Androsaces growing in the wild. Others will feature garden-grown specimens.
