Alwyn Gentry's landmark book, completed just before his tragic death in 1993, is the only field guide to the nearly 250 families of woody plants in the most species-rich region of South America. As a consummate field researcher, Gentry designed this guide to be not just comprehensive, but also easy to use in rigorous field conditions. Unlike many field guides, which rely for their identifications on flowers and fruits that are only present during certain seasons, Gentry's book focuses on characters such as bark, leaves, and odor that are present year-round. His guide is filled with clear illustrations, step-by-step keys to identification, and a wealth of previously unpublished data. 0aPlantas leñosasxIdentificaciónzColombia 0aPlantas leñosasxIdentificaciónzEcuador 0aPlantas leñosasxIdentificaciónzPerú 0aBotánicaxGuíaszSudamérica noroccidental 0aTaxonomía vegetalzSudamérica1 aVásquez, Rodolfo,eilustrador.
