Worldwide, there are an estimated 1, 500, 000 species and only approximately 5-10% are known. Of that percentage (some 72, 000 species), the majority belong to the taxonomic group Ascomycota (ascomycetes). Most of the ascomycetes are so small that they can only be seen with a magnifying glass or microscope. For this reason, most ascomycetes are also known as microfungi. Our objective is that this illustrated guide can also be useful for biologists, naturalists, scientists, students and the general public because it illustrates a little-known biodiversity of Costa Rica and other tropical regions.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 2nd Edition. 360 pp., illustrations, bibliography, index. In English and Spanish. Timber trees of Costa Rica. Ecology and silviculture, describes 55 native tree species. For each species there is a taxonomic description, a section on ecology, describing the type of forest and soil where the species is found; silviculture, with information concerning the collection and cultivation of the seeds in the nursery and the potential use of the species in forest plantations; and finally, a very brief summary of the characteristics of the wood and its current uses. Each species is accompanied by color photographs, together with a drawing of the leaves, flowers or fruits, in order to facilitate the identification. One of the main objectives in presenting this comprehensive information is to provide the general public with all the available scientific data and popular knowledge on these trees, generated over many years, in the hope that the consumers will not only value these fine woods but also contribute to efforts to use timber resources in a sustainable way.

This is the first book about the beautiful Costa Rican passion flowers or passifloras, and it is written for amateur and professional naturalists alike. Passion flowers are unusual vines bearing tendrils and exotic flowers. The fruits of some are known for their delicious flavors and they find their way into juice drinks, ice creams, and desserts throughout the tropics. Costa Rica is blessed with at least 51 native species of passifloras, some in danger of extinction, including four endemic species, found nowhere else. With this book, one may easily identify all the species found in Costa Rica and learn where and how they live. Virtually all that is known about these plants is here in one pleasing compact volume.
