Timber Trees of Suriname

By Chequita R Bhikhi

It has been some 50 years since Bomenboek voor Suriname was first published. The Bomenboek has been, and is still today, an invaluable aid to all those studying the Suriname flora and vegetation. However, for many years it has been out of print. On the 25th anniversary of the Alberta Mennega Stichting, the board decided to facilitate the publication of the second edition of the Bomenboek to which Alberta Mennega had contributed so much. This new book contains botanical and wood anatomy descriptions of 100 commercially important Surinamese timber tree species. The descriptions are richly illustrated with photographs and botanical drawings. This book is therefore intended for anyone interested in learning about and identifying Surinamese timber trees such as timber companies, forest management organizations, students and conservationists. Whilst this book focuses on the trees of Suriname, many of the species treated herein can also be found in adjacent Guyana and French Guiana, whilst others have a much wider Neotropical distribution still.
