This work is indispensable for those interested in the plant life of the Andean foothills. The detailed description of the vegetation shows clearly that lowland rainforests are a composite of different vegetation research in the Andean foothills of Peru and Ecuador. Keys to families, genera, and species are provided within each of the major groups. Brief descriptions, notes on habitat preference, and Spanish and Aguaruna common names, when available, are given for each species. An extensive bibliography is provided at the end of Volume 2.
