Florida Ethnobotany

This critically acclaimed work iswinner of the 2005 Klinger Book Award, presented by The Society for Economic Botany. Lauded for its thoroughness and creativity, Florida Ethnobotany combines locally gathered information with a study of early literature to fully document the names employed by the different natives and settlers of the region, as well as the various uses of each species, ranging from the utilitarian to the religious. It contains a sixteen-page full-color insert and includes beautifully executed illustrations, many of them original, for more than 500 of the nearly 900 species it covers. An exhaustive bibliography serves as a point of departure for further research. .
