I would like to find a book with as much detail as possible on the flora of the island. I have had no luck in my local library system. Preferably english but spanish ok too. Can anyone suggest a source?
I have a three volume set by Jurgen Hoppe which may address your needs. The English versions are:
Flowering Trees of the Dominican Republic [ISBN 84-923141-0-9], S.D. Oct 1997
Palms of the Dominican Republic [ISBN 84-923141-4-1] S.D. 1998
Nature Guide (The North Coast of the Dominican Republic) ISBN 84-95246-03-5] S.D. 1999
All three volumes are published by Fundacion Manuel De Jesus Tavares Portes, Inc., under the sponsorship of EDUCA. I found all three books in the Colonial Zone of S.D. a few years ago. I will be pleased to assist further, if required.
