Book excerpt: Trees of Yap, first published in 2015 as Forest Service General Technical Report PSW-GTR-249, is an up-to-date field guide for identifying the trees found on the island of Yap, Micronesia (and applicable to much of the southern Pacific). Included are descriptions and illustrations (drawings and b/w photographs) for all recorded native trees and most introduced trees. Additional information is provided on tree distribution, status, vernacular names in Micronesia, and English names when available, plus comments on the species and their uses. Fully indexed by scientific and common name. (Note that the photographs in this edition are black-and-white rather than in color as in the original Forest Service edition.)
