Honolulu, Hawaii. http://www.micronesianplants.net/, accessed yyyy-mm-dd. More Details Less Details Locality: Pacific Ocean (7.336760, 134.476180) Abstract: This checklist presents a checklist of documented useful plants of Palau for a through literature review. Although early botanists such as Kanehirae (1933), Fosberg & Sachet (1975a,b, 1977, 1980), and Fosberg et al. (1993) published partial treatments on the Flora of Micronesia which included complete species descriptions. To date no comprehensive account of the useful plants of Palau, or the flora of Micronesia has been published. Guam remains the only Micronesian subregion with a complete flora (Stone 1970).
