Palms of the South-West Cordillera Galeras, a Remote Premontane Rain Forest in Eastern Ecuador.


Abstract:

Abstract The Sumaco Napo-Galeras National Park in western Ecuador was recently awarded a World Biosphere reserve status, yet it is one of the least botanically known regions in the country, mainly because it is hard to reach. We present here some preliminary results of palm diversity documented during a field trip in June 2009 to the south-west part of the Cordillera Galeras.
