The Flora of Iraq is the only flora for this region in the Middle East. It enables anyone documenting, studying, or managing Iraq’s vast and rich flora to identify the vascular cryptograms and flowering plants. In addition to the detailed taxonomic information, a large amount of supplementary data of general biological interest and economic interest is provided, as well as notes on vernacular names. Nearing completion, it fills a major gap in the floral knowledge of Iraq. Volume 6 covers the Compositae in its entirety.

A checklist of 486 species, in 143 genera, with entries listed alphabetically and sorted by state, collector and number. The list brings together the results of an examination of some 4,200 Northeastern Brazilian Compositae specimens; and is the fourth title to be published in the current series. The introductory text is presented in both English and Portuguese languages.
