Palms of South America

[ahosey01]

Curious if there are any definitive books on Palms in South America like there are with Palms of Madagascar and Palms of Cuba.

Anything out there?

Not from the entirety of South America, but: https://www.plantarum.com.br/ingles/book-brazilian-flora-palms

Try this, it is very comprehensive;

Henderson (Field guide to the palms of the Americas) is the classic but quite old now.  There's a great field guide to the palms of Colombia in Spanish but not sure if there is a version on English.

Spanish is fine.

Brazil is covered by Brazilian Flora - Arecaceae (Palms) by Lorenzi, Noblick, Kahn, and Ferreira, printed in both Portuguese and English.
