Item Description

Flora of the Marquesas Islands, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, are a multi-decade project 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.

This two volume hardbound color book set offers a complete account of all the plants found in the Marquesas Islands. Of the 826 vascular plant species recorded, 331 species are native, with the remainder being human-introduced. Nearly half of the native flora (47%) is endemic to the Marquesas and includes 100 ferns and lycophytes. Volume 1 of this two-volume work includes an introduction to the Marquesas Islands, lycophytes, ferns, monocots, and exsiccatae.
