The palms
of Sonora were important economically long before European exploration
of the New World. Yet, Sonoran palms are some of the most poorly
known members of the family anywhere in the Americas. Based on
original field work and new analysis conducted by the authors,
this monograph is a landmark for understanding these keystone
species. Botanical descriptions, taxonomic synopses, local names,
identification keys, conservation status and recommendations,
and distributional and ethnobotanical information are included
for each of the native palm species.
