Get your hands on this one-of-a kind issue of ‘Flora of The Marquesas Islands, Volume 1 Lycophytes, Ferns, and Monocots’, signed by Dr. David H. Lorence, NTBG Senior Research Botanist
This multi-decade project was spearheaded by NTBG’s Senior Research Botanist Dr. David Lorence and Dr. Warren Wagner, a Research Botanist and Curator of Botany with the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History. The Flora of the Marquesas is a collaboration between NTBG, the Smithsonian Institution, Délégation á la Recherche de la Polynésie Française, and other partners.
The 415-page hardbound color book offers a complete account of all the plants found in the Marquesas Islands, a volcanic archipelago of 12 main islands and numerous islets situated within the Polynesia-Micronesia biodiversity hotspot, an epicenter of the current global extinction crisis. Stemming from extensive fieldwork, this book conveys a characterization of the extant floristic diversity, including 85 recently described species, original illustrations, illuminating photos, and critical conservation considerations.
Volume 1 of this two volume work includes an introduction to the Marquesas Islands, lycophytes, ferns, monocots, and excisccatae.
