ATLAS DE LA BOTANIQUE POÉTIQUE - Francis Hallé

Botanist and explorer of the equatorial rainforests he has criss-crossed for forty years, sketchbook in hand, Francis Hallé invites us in this Atlas of Poetic Botany on an illustrated journey to meet extraordinary plants. From the countless expedition notebooks that line the shelves of his Montpellier office, he has extracted a sampling of the most astonishing specimens.

From Codariocalyx motorius, the dancing plant, to Argentina’s Solanaceae, underground trees with only a carpet of leaves visible on the ground, their modes of development and adaptation often go beyond our understanding to enchant our imagination. Exuberant, enigmatic and endowed with surprising aptitudes, the plant wonders presented in this unexpected cabinet of curiosities make a strong case for the preservation of tropical forests, which are now under serious threat.
