The New York Botanical Garden, established in 1891, is dedicated to the study and enjoyment of plants. Because the scientific study of plants is not complete until the results are published, the The New York Botanical Garden Press (formerly Scientific Publications) was created in 1896 to disseminate this information.

The
1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants
This book represents a milestone in the history
of Red Data books and lists of vascular plants (ferns and fern allies;
gymnosperms, including cycads and Gnetales; and flowering plants) recorded
as globally Rare, Vulnerable, Endangered, or Extinct. The current volume
lists 33,798 species as threatened, resulting in the grim statistic that
over 12.5% of the world's vascular flora is threatened on a global scale.
The list is arranged by major taxon. Within each of these major taxa, families
are listed alphabetically, and genera and species are listed alphabetically
within their families.

Manual of Vascular Plants
of Northeastern United States and Adjacent Canada, Second Edition
By H. A. Gleason and A. Cronquist
This second edition of the Manual has been completely revised by
Cronquist, the taxa rearranged according to his phylogenetic system, and
the nomenclature updated. The general keys-long known for their ease of
use-have been revised, new synoptic keys added, the glossary expanded,
and ample place for notes provided.
This second edition of the Manual reflects an effort to incorporate
into a single comprehensive account the results of modern taxonomic research
on the flora of the area covered, with due regard to all past accounts,
all in the light of Cronquist's critical evaluation. The aim is to make
it possible for the user to come up with the correct name of a plant with
only a hand lens, or sometimes a dissecting microscope, as accessory equipment.

Várzea:
Diversity, Development, and Conservation of Amazonia's Whitewater Floodplains
By Christine Padoch, José Márcio Ayres, Miguel Pinedo-Vasquez
and Andrew Henderson
For centuries, the várzea has been an important area for
resource extraction, agriculture and settlement. Additionally, many areas
of the floodplains are crucial habitats for the reproduction of numerous
species and others are home to populations of important and severely threatened
endemics. The annual floods that make these lands agriculturally desirable
also make them difficult to exploit through modern agricultural methods.
This book covers five of today's most pressing issues facing the várzea:
Fish and Fisheries, Forests and Forestry, Conservation, Soils and River
Dynamics, and Land Resources Management. Each section highlights the various
approaches that are being proposed and implemented in the Amazon region
for the conservation of the várzea's valuable species and habitats,
while taking into account the need for development and the importance of
enhancing the livelihood of floodplain farmers, fishers and forest managers.

Medicinal
Plants: Can Utilization and Conservation Coexist?
By J. Wood Sheldon, M. J. Balick, and S. Laird
People have often relied on plants for their medicinal value. Demand,
however, often leads to the degradation of these valuable resources. This
study examines several medicinal plant species, their value to traditional
and contemporary medicine, and how over-harvesting of these plants impacts
natural and human forest communities.It explores the discovery and utility
of medicinal plants into the herbal and pharmaceutical industries and its
impact on forest communities. The authors offer productive alternatives
to over-harvesting of wild populations, such as the Belize Ethnobotany
Project. The study concludes with how traditional, herbal, and pharmaceutical
industries that rely on medicinal plants must co-exist and avoid the destruction
of the rain forest and its communities.

Beyond
Slash and Burn: Building on Indigenous Management of Borneo's Tropical
Rain Forests
By C. J. Pierce Colfer with N. Peluso and C. S. Chung
What is the world giving up when tropical rainforests are destroyed?
The author ponders this question from the view of the Uma' Jalan Kenyah,
an indigenous people of eastern Borneo, by taking a look at the complex
management sytems they have developed for tropical forests. This monograph
shows the many uses the Kenyah make of the various stages of forest regrowth,
the under-recognized benefitsgained from the forest, and the forest's value
beyond that which is attached to it by outsiders. The book's final chapter
offers recommendations on how the Uma Jalan Kenyah system might be adapted
to help in the conservation of tropical rainforests and the continued subsistence
of traditional rain forest communities. Twelve appendices, including sections
on food plants, home garden plants and their value, timber-use trees, and
medicinal plants complete this volume.

Páramos:
A Checklist of Plant Diversity, Geographical Distribution, and Botanical
Literature
By James L. Luteyn
Located in the Andes, above the last continuous
forests and below the permanent snowline, and ranging from Costa Rica to
Peru, páramos contain some of the earth's richest floral
diversity. Drawing on his decades of fieldwork in the region and his exhaustive
research, the author, has assembled here, for the first time all in one
place, a wealth of information on this ecosystem. Beginning with a fascinating
and detailed introduction to the páramo ecosystem, the book
provides an annotated checklist to the more than 3,000 vascular plants
and more than 1,200 lichens, mosses, and hepatics found there; plus a gazetteer
for each country containing páramo; and finally an enormous
list of references to páramo in the published literature.
This carefully crafted reference work is an indispensable source of information
for botanists, conservation planners, geographers, park managers, and anyone
else interested in Andean vegetation.

Evolution,
Variation, and Classification of Palms
Edited By Andrew Henderson and Finn Borchsenius
The 26 papers in this volume were originally
presented at a meeting of the same title, held at The New York Botanical
Garden in June 1997. The conference was divided into four sections: species
and species concepts, species-level data, species-level case studies, and
higher-level classification. Held ten years after the publication of Genera
Palmarum, the meeting drew together the best known palm researchers
to reflect on the veritable explosion of palm research that occurred in
the intervening decade. In many ways, the paper presented here sum up that
activity, and it is extraordinary how much progress has been made. Nevertheless,
with much remaining to be learned about the Palmae, this volume points
the way forward.

which he co-published with B. M. Everhart in 1892. The annotated compilation,
alphabetical by epithet, that makes up the bulk of this present study contains
nearly 1,500 entries, including five generic disopsitions. The number of
names is nearly equally divided between accepted species, often with a
change to the modern genera, and names are redisposed in synonymy with
earlier names. 15 new combinations of taxa are proposed by the authors,
and more than 150 Nomina nuda are listed separately. A listing of substrates

North American
Flora
This series provides keys and descriptions of all plants growing spontaneously
in North America, Central America, and the West Indies (excluding those
islands whose flora is essentially South American). Series I, published
from 1909 to 1949, consists of 94 parts. Series II, initiated in 1954,
is issued at irregular intervals in parts numbered sequentially without
regard for taxonomic relationships and with some latitude in geographic
delimitation. Each part is priced individually and is devoted to an order,
family, or smaller group, complete with bibliography and index. Published
since 1905, the volumes are priced individually.
