About the book: After an epic journey into the Brazilian and Peruvian Amazon, the German botanist von Martius created an extraordinary catalog of all known palm genera. This encyclopedic treasure is a jewel of 19th-century botany and is distinguished both by its meticulous classification and by its maps, colorful landscapes, and cross-sectional diagrams, through which one can admire the architecture of these majestic trees.
