Hawaii's Ferns and Fern Allies

"Hawai'i's Ferns and Fern Allies is the first comprehensive survey of Hawai'i's ferns to be published in more than one hundred years. The book covers endemic, indigenous, and naturalized ferns and fern allies (including rare and endangered taxa), providing dichotomous keys, basionyms and synonyms, technical descriptions and distributions, a glossary, and statistical information. The author addresses unresolved taxonomic problems and offers suggestions for future research. He includes information from Hawaiian folklore and mythology, describes uses of ferns by native Hawaiians, and updates Hawaiian common names. More than one hundred line drawings illustrate all 222 species, varieties, and forms, and some hybrids." "This well-researched and highly readable book will be enthusiastically received by amateur and professional naturalists, fern enthusiasts, and professional botanists."--BOOK JACKET.
