Palms give the tropics their skyline, and Puerto Rico has a distinctive set. O.F. Cook keys the island's palms, from the date-bearing Phoenix to the native thatch palms, describing new genera along the way. A slim botanical guide to an iconic family. Look up and name the palms of the Caribbean island.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
