Some of the images and definitions in the following pages were done by the Botany 250 students at the College of Micronesia-FSM and others who have contributed identifications by email. These identifications should NOT be taken as definitively accurate. We are not working from herbarium reference materials but rather from various guide books and Internet based research. Fern identifications are highly tentative. This is an ongoing and evolving project, future iterations should correct those errors that exist. These pages have been in a constructivist vein: the pages are put up without instructor editorial revision. Students can revise their work during the term. Please feel free to report any errors to Dana Lee Ling.
Where a location is given below the latin binomial, the hyperlink for that location links to information on the cultural significance of that plant in that location.
This work was made possible in part by a United States Department of Education Title III grant, 1995-2000.
Pages that are incomplete are now marked incomplete on the virtual herbarium page itself.
Plants yet to be identified by latin binomial, if you can help identify the following please drop Dana Lee Ling a line:
