Traditional Plant Uses in Micronesia

Project Managers: Mark Merlin

A catalog of Micronesian plants and their uses from the main islands of the Federated States of Micronesia: Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei, and Yap. Much of this information was painstakingly collected in various islands of Micronesia as fieldwork for a series of books authored by University of HawaiÊ»i at MÄ�noa Professor of Ethnobotany Dr. Mark Merlin.

Research Checklists Research checklists are pre-compiled by biologists. This is a very controlled method for building a species list, which allows for specific specimens to be linked to the species names within the checklist and thus serve as vouchers. Specimen vouchers are proof that the species actually occurs in the given area. If there is any doubt, one can inspect these specimens for verification or annotate the identification when necessary.
