The Potatoes of South America

This authoritative and scholarly treatise on the potatoes of Bolivia provides a definitive guide to the rich diversity and taxonomy of this important group of plants. The volume represents the culmination of a lifetime''s study of these potatoes by Carlos Ochoa and is published in collaboration with the International Potato Center in Lima Peru. As such it represents a definitive guide to these potatoes and is the first to be prepared under the auspices of a South American botanist. The text is abundantly illustrated throughout with clear line drawings photographs and many specially commissioned water colors. Further volumes are planned on other South American potatoes.
