"At the Biological Crossroads of the Americas, Costa Rica hosts one of the widest varieties of plants in the world. Its habitats range from tidal mangrove swamps and lowland rainforests to dry tropical forests and a wide variety of mountain environments." "A Field Guide to Plants of Costa Rica is a must-have reference guide for beginner and expert naturalists alike. It provides a thorough survey of more than 850 plant species, each entry accompanied by color photos and a concise yet detailed narrative description. Plants are conveniently grouped by the different types of vegetation: palms, tall trees, shrubs, woody vines, herbaceous vines, herbs, grasses, and ferns. Along with nearly 1,400 color photographs, the guide also includes an illustrated glossary of plant parts, five maps of Costa Rica, and laminated covers for durability in the field. With so much readily accessible information, this book is essential for exploring Costa Rica's common and conspicuous flora from the plants growing along the roadside to the best natural parks."--BOOK JACKET.
