Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dream of becoming a beachcomber on some distant tropical shore has always held a particular fascination for Westerners. To be able to spend one's day relaxing under a tropical sun and walking a palm-covered beach bordering a blue lagoon has seemed like the ideal escape from the everyday pressures of the hurried lifestyle of our Western world. Ever since its European discovery, Polynesia has captivated the imagination of adventurers looking for an island paradise. Now, with the age of jet travel, a visit to the islands is no longer an impossible dream. Every year thousands of people fly to the South Pacific to spend their vacation in the tropical sun. One of the most remarkable features of Polynesia is the vast array of exotic flowers to be found growing everywhere in profusion. For those who are interested in nature, the easiest way to identify these exotic species is by using an illustrated book on tropical flowers. There are already a number of such books available, but most of these deal only with cultivated ornamental plants such as hibiscus, frangipani, and jasmine. These are well-suited to those who do not go beyond the confines of their hotel or local tourist attractions. But it is for those who seek out nature, away from the hotels, aways from the tourist attractions, or even away from civilization, that this book is intended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wayside Plants of the Islands has been designed as a guide book to the identification of the most common plant species encountered in the lowlands of the Pacific Islands. It is based upon the author's 25 years of botanical excursions in Hawai'i, Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti, Fiji, Guam, Belau (Palau), and the other Pacific Islands. The lowlands here have been highly disturbed and are now entirely dominated by "alien" weedy species. This guide book includes color photos of 170 of the most common of these lowland species, with descriptions and other pertinent information. Most of the plants covered are widespread species that may be found in any part of the tropics, so this book is useful throughout the tropical Pacific and beyond."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: "This is an account of the plants that grow on the small Fijian island of Waya. It mainly concerns species native to Fiji but a number of adventives ("exotics" or "introductions") have been included too - in total 321 species are treated. It is based on specimens collected by Harold St John in 1937 and cited in A.C. Smith's Flora Viytiensis Nova, and on collections I got on Waya in 1991, 1992 and 2017. St John seems to have been the first botanist to visit Waya - neither the U.S. Exploring Expedition nor Berthold Seemann did. Subsequently, Waya and the other islands in the Yasawa Islands group have been collected from only infrequently (Smith 1979:76). I hope to show that this neglect is underserved."--Intorudction, p.1.

Download or read book Palms of the Fiji Islands written by Dick Watling and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palms of the Fiji Islands has been written for the interested layman and contains chapters on: Fiji and its vegetation; an account of the palm flora - its origin and closest relatives; the most up to date taxonomic classification; species accounts with Fijian ethno-botanical information; distribution maps and, a detailed analysis of conservation issues. Information on the cultivation of Fiji's Palms is also provided. Palms of the Fiji Islands is richly illustrated with fifty eight colour illustrations of all the palms in their natural habitats, and detailed close ups of their fruit. All the illustrations are by the renowned wildlife artist, George Bennett. What we know about Fiji's palms give rise to serious concern. Indeed over half of Fiji's endemic palms are on the world Red List of endangered plants. Their plight is a microcosm of the plight of Fiji's forests which are being butchered and burned, year in and year out, with hardly a murmur of public concern.
