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 Marquesas Islands are a volcanic archipelago of 12 islands and numerous islets situated within the eastern part of French Polynesia, making it one of the most isolated groups of oceanic islands. Volume 2 of the Flora of the Marquesas Islands covers the dicots, dicot exsiccatae (specimens studied), a list of cultivated plants, a list of all literature cited, and an index to both volumes.
