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.

collecting and pressing specimens.
990909 Lab 2: Michael J. Balick, P.h.D. and Roberta Lee, M.D., lead a laboratory wherein
the students have collected three samples of two plants that have cultural, medicinal, or
nutritional value to their people. The students each presented a one page paper on
their plants.

Laboratory final: Identify and fully describe plants in the field as identified by the
instructor.
Images and definitions in the following pages were done by the Botany 250 students Fall 1998. These images 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.
Pages at the end of a drill down sequence often do not have any hyperlinks on them. Use the browser back button to leave these pages. Most of the images are 24 bit color JPEG images. Set your computer screen color depth to 32 bit (true color) for best display of these images. These pages were designed using Microsoft FrontPage 98 embedded stylesheets. The font specifications are for ten point Verdana.
