Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between the flora of Polynesia and that of neighboring lands. The author identifies the origins of Polynesian plant species and theorizes how they were introduced to the islands. Some species, the author argues, were carried by wind and ocean currents. Other species, especially Polynesian-specific species, may have been introduced by migrating birds or humans. One-quarter of Polynesian plant species are of Indo-Malaysian origin, and a fifth are American or Australian. The author concludes that the origin and distribution of Polynesian plant life is a matter of some complexity, but also one that sheds light on the broader history of the region.
