About the book: Following 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, distinguished by its meticulous classification as well as its maps, colorful landscapes, and cross-section diagrams, through which one can admire the architecture of these majestic trees.
