"This excellently produced guide is a model of its kind, not only
in providing keys and description for field taxonomists, but also
in containing a wealth of information on the ecology, distribution,
and economic uses of this important group of tropical and
subtropical plants."
*The Naturalist*
"A very useful summary of the state of knowledge of Western
Hemisphere palm taxonomy."
*Choice*
"The reason why this should become a standard reference, as well as
a field guide, is that the species concepts are broad and allow for
the considerable variation that palms exhibit in the field. Highly
recommended."---Henk Beentje, Curtis's Botanical Magazine
"What makes this guide so significant is that, until now, the
taxonomy of American palms had never been synthesized and
simplified to bring order to all species in all genera and provide
standard names among countries."---Roger W. Sanders, Sida
