Présentation de l'éditeur :
Presenting an up-to-date introduction to this complex group of plants, Palms Throughout the World describes 800 species in 123 genera and discusses the distribution, biology, propagation, cultivation, and economic importance of palms. The individual species descriptions are arranged in alphabetical order and include common synonyms and references to origin and distribution. Providing multiple species accounts for many genera, David L. Jones focuses on species that are commonly grown throughout the world, species that are collector's items and are mainly grown by enthusiasts, and species that are awaiting introduction to cultivation.
From the familiar and impressive species of Johannesteijsmannia to the dwarf and small palmlets found in the genera of Pinanga and Licuala, Jones presents an authoritative and accessible reference for botanists, horticulturists, and palm enthusiasts. Palms Throughout the World is lavishly illustrated with color and black-and-white photographs and rare engravings.

Pa lms Throughout the World is lavishly illustrated with color and b lack-and-white photographs and rare engravings. Editorial Review s From Library Journal Palms are an important plant family. Orna mentally, they symbolize a tropical landscape to most of us; econ omically, they provide important products to millions of people i n both subsistence and modern commercial economies. Although both of these books provide a wealth of information on palms, they di ffer in coverage. Field Guide to the Palms of the Americas takes a botanical approach to help readers identify palms naturally occ urring in the Americas. A brief introduction and a key to the gen era are followed by descriptions of 67 individual species, includ ing identification, characteristics, habitat, and interesting not es. A separate section of 64 color plates, a distribution map for each species, checklists, and a detailed bibliography and index are also offered. Species descriptions are written by taxonomists but are reasonably comprehensible and interesting to the amateur ; unfortunately, there is no glossary to explain technical terms. Palms Throughout the World, an expansion of Jones's popular Palm s in Australia (1984), takes a horticultural approach. Its descri ptions of 800 species in 123 genera include cultivation and propa gation information as well as descriptions, and its 350 color pho tographs are conveniently located next to the species they illust rate. The long introductory section includes information on the s tructure, biology, and economic uses of palms as well as their di sease and cultivation requirements. A glossary is provided. Both works would be useful in academic horticultural libraries. Field Guide to the Palms of the Americas is the only comprehensive fiel d guide for its area, although Natalie Uhl and John Dransfield's definitive Genera Palmarum (Allen Pr., 1987) provides more detail ed botanical information. Palms of the World is a more attractive book and would have greater appeal to general readers.?Marit Mac Arthur, Auraria Lib., Denver, Col. Copyright 1995 Reed Business I nformation, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavail able edition of this title. From Booklist Jones divides this enc yclopedic work into two parts. The first part deals with structur e, economic importance (many communities in the tropics and subtr opics depend on palms for their livelihood), cultivation, and pes ts and diseases. The second part is a 265-page alphabetical listi ng of about 800 species in 123 genera. Each entry offers informat ion on the plant's origin, distribution, and habitat and describe s its general appearance (height as well as the configuration of fronds, leaflets, flowers, and fruit). Included are 445 color pho tographs, 60 black-and-white line drawings, and a detailed glossa ry. George Cohen --This text refers to an out of print or unavail able edition of this title.
