The biogeographic regions reconsidered
Aim To evaluate the internal consistency and appropriateness of Takhtajan’s system of world‐wide floral Kingdoms in the light of modern knowledge, and similarly to re‐examine the Wallacean system of mammal biogeographic regions. Main conclusions It is suggested that Takhtajan’s Cape and Antarctic fl...
