A team of collectors has identified 1,041 plants on the small Micronesian island, and record uses or local names for 461 of them, drawing on the systematic acquisition and preservation of botanical knowledge by past and present inhabitants since humans first arrived. They discuss yams and their traditional cultivation, breadfruit, banana as an essential crop, taro, the sacred root sakau en Pohnpei, traditional medicine and its integration, and an ethno-botanical compendium of local uses of plants and fungi with color photographs. A final chapter contains a checklist of vascular plants of the island. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
