A. Henderson (2002). Palms are not trees, yet they have woody stems and are not considered herbaceous plants. Classified as basically tropical or subtropical in habitat, their aesthetic appearance and distinctive and apparently simple architecture have an intrinsic appeal for tropical botanists and non-botanists alike. Despite this appeal and considering their importance, there is limited knowledge of many aspects of the family.

In this work, Henderson does an extraordinary job of bringing together and analyzing the relevant literature and data in an attempt to understand the evolution and ecology of the palm family.

If you interest in palms is serious, you will learn from this book. 80 b/w photos, 259 pages, 8 x 10, softbound with heavy color cover.
