Trees of Our Malaysian Cities

Trees of Our Malaysian Cities contains colour photographs of 172 species of urban tress commonly found in Malaysian cities. This book briefly describes each species and photos of the pertinent tree parts, including the family, common and scientific names, origin and distribution of each species. It also highlights the landscape, medicinal and cultural uses with some common propagation approaches. For ease of reference, an index on scientific and common names was included. A glossary section was provided to clarify further the terms used in this book. This book will be a perfect guide for students, nature lovers, arborists, horticulturists, landscape architects, urban planners, etc., especially on tree species identification and selection for landscape purposes. By writing this book, I aim to heighten the readers’ inspiration and appreciation for our Malaysian city trees.
