Thanks to the great support of Prof. Robin Foster, and his team from the Field Museum Chicago (especially Tatzyana Wachter), SLA presents with great pleasure two new photographic field guides. These publications focuses on commonly used indigenous (primarily) and introduced woody species in the Ucayali region of Peruvian Amazon. These include important timber species (e.g. some Meliaceae and Fabaceae), edible fruit bearing species (Annona spp., Matisia cordata, Psidium guajava…), species producing construction material (Attalea spp.), gum/resin/latex producing species (Croton lechleri, Ficus spp., Hevea brasiliensis…), some medicinal species (Brunfelsia grandiflora, Jatropha spp., Uncaria spp.), etc. Other guides are under preparation.
