V,
It's probably the most definitive book on the species that I know about.
It's a British treatment by the BIS. I got it for my Christmas present two
Christmases ago and have learned a lot from it. It gives, I feel,
knowledgeable advice on seed starting and the culture required of the
various species. I like it. There was a species publication by SIGNA a few
years ago, I guess, that I inquired about, but was told that it is OOP,
although the group is considering a reprint.
