About This Book

A systematic, Linnaean catalog of plants recorded on islands of the southern Pacific, compiled from specimens gathered during a circumnavigation. The work arranges taxa by class and genus and supplies concise morphological descriptions, specific differences, and native localities; it highlights newly observed species, flags doubtful or imperfectly known taxa, and offers comparisons and corrections to existing botanical treatments. A prefatory note explains publication delays and the absence of illustrative plates while outlining the scope and limitations of the enumeration.
