Description
The coconut and the Fiji fan palm are by far the best known of Fiji’s palms, but both may actually be old introductions to Fiji.
This new book, the first ever published on the subject, describes the 31 species of palm that may be found growing wild in Fiji today; 25 of these are considered native and six are introduced.
It is 25 little-known indigenous palms that are the core subject of this book as they form a distinctive and unique component of the natural heritage of the Fiji Islands.
