Review
a scholarly work ... it must surely be the foundation for further more detailed taxonomical study and to generate a systematic study of the products derived from these palms ... For the plantsman, this title will be an invaluable source of reference. (Thomas H R Hall, Arboricultural Journal 1996, Vol. 20, 1996)
