The author approaches his subject with a combined approach including, among other subjects, morphology, physiology, taxonomy, biogeography, plate tectonics, ecology, and evolution. Following recent molecular studies, he divides the genera into two major clades, one tracing to India and the other to Australia, and follows their distribution from Asia and Australia to Guam and Tahiti.
