The best book to expand an existing knowledge about palms.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Genera Palmarum: A Classification of Palms Based on the Work of Harold E. Moore, Jr. (Hardcover)
I'm a novice interested in the great variety of the palms. I'm also interested in taxonomy (classification). Having read several general books on palms (learning many of the genera and how to grow them), I wanted the "big picture" of how they all fit together. Genera Palmarum is perhaps the gold standard for palm taxonomy. Every palm (200 genera) is included, and given a place. One can immediately locate a genus, and discover its defining characteristics (as well as superb line drawings of a representative species). One can then discover how the genus differs from other closely related genera.

genera palmarum,
This review is from: Genera Palmarum: A Classification of Palms Based on the Work of Harold E. Moore, Jr. (Hardcover)
This is the definitive Palm book. Not a 'how-to,' but a scientific publication. Lots of information and pictures. Excellent.
