Ferns of Palau: A Field Guide provides images for 62 fern species representing 41 Genera within 21 families. There are descriptions for 39 species and photographic plates of 23 species. The species were selected based upon available information in the literature and the quality of available images. My goal is that the reader will use this guide to learn more about ferns and develop a deeper appreciation of their forest habitat.
