The Caucasus
The Caucasus MRW (online and print) Volume will cover this
European Macroregion. The content will focus on the ethnobotany
of wild plants in this Macroregion and it will be first developed
as an online site and, later, when all of the planned topics
have been covered for this specific volume, printed in a hard

for updates (with new monographs [if not covered initially due to
lack of research]).
