Betrock's Essential Guide to Palms

Palms and Cycads by David Squire

Palms by Desmond Muirhead

The Book Of Palms by Carl Fredrich Philipp von Martius

The weight of lies will bring you down / And follow you to every town / Cause nothin happens here

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere

I was looking through some of my books just the other night, and it struck me how out of date many of them are, specifically on the Malagasy palms. What is currently the "best" reference for the various Malagasy palms in terms of having the most accurate and current data?

palms of madagascar

Isn't this from 1995? It's still very informative, but much of it is quite dated as this point, right?

A nice find today, 'Palms in Australia', by David Jones. A second edition revised dated 1993. First published in 1984, this was the Bible for budding enthusiasts in Darwin back in the day.....
