The Palm-Tree of Life: Biology, Utilization, and Conservation. Adv Econ Bot (6)
Palms play important and often multiple roles in the economies of many tropical and subtropical countries. This collection of twenty-one papers is divided into four sections: a taxonomic overview of palms; the reproductive biology, ecology, and physiology of certain economically useful palms; the utilization of palms; and the conservation of palms. Ethnobotanical and domestication studies of palms are particularly well represented.
