About This Book
A practical, illustrated field guide to the islands' ornamental and native flowering plants, combining color plates with concise botanical descriptions and habitat notes. Introductory chapters list gardens and drives where specimens may be seen, followed by focused sections on hibiscus, flowering and native trees, tropical and colored-foliage shrubs, vines, gingers, and special tropical blooms. Attention to accurate nomenclature and plate detail helps lay readers identify flowers while pointing readers to technical references for deeper study.
