Asclepiadace ae and Periplocaceae of Karnataka is expected to serve as a reference work for taxonomists, horticulturists, palynologists pollination biologists. morphologists, students of Botany of under-graduate and post-graduate classes.

The work is an extensive study by the authors for a period of 4 years based on periodical collections of plants of these unique families from different parts of Karnataka and a critical study.

This book includes two parts: Part one deals with a detailed taxonomical account of species of the families. Part two includes pollen morphology with its bearing on taxonomic and phylogenetic implications and pollination biology.

Preface
We expect that this volume "The Asclepiadaceae and Periplocaceae of Karnataka" will serve as a reference work for taxonomists, horticulturists, palynologists, pollination biologists, morphologists, students of Botany of undergraduate and post graduate classes.

The work is an extensive study by the authors for a period of 4 years based on periodical collections of plants of these unique families from different parts of Karnataka, and critical study.

This book includes two parts: Part one deals with an introduction and detailed taxonomical account of species of the families. Part two includes pollen morphology with its bearing taxonomic and phylogenetic implications, and on pollination biology.

Current trends in taxonomic studies have lead to reassess the relationships among the families or merging them with the others.

Introduction
With the resurgence of interest in taxonomic studies during recent years, it has emerged that there is greater need for deeper understanding of the plant kingdom, as well as for the increased effectiveness in communication about plants. Further, there is a dire necessity to reorient the existing descriptive informations in order to revise the identification schemes, to re-evaluate the present systems of classification and also to redefine the relationships of different taxa.
