Flora List for Pohnpei from Christopher Dahl (File creation
date 15 Nov 1997)
The above list is a comma delimited file that can be reconstructed in tabular format by
copying and pasting into a word processing document and then converting from text to table
format delimited on commas (up to 60 pages in landscape view!). Alternatively save
the file as a text file with the name "flora.csv" and many spreadsheets will
then correctly open the file. The file is 768 rows. List is alphabetized by
Genus, but the family is in the first column. List does include Pohnpeian name for
selected species.
