Description:

El libro de las hojas distinguidas trata sobre aquellas plantas que reconocemos por la gran belleza de sus hojas. Son gemas del mundo vegetal que distinguimos mas por su follaje que por sus flores, las cuales ocupan un segundo lugar en la estimacion de los que las cultivan y las admiran.

La verdad es que hay miles de hojas distinguidas por su aspecto general, forma y color. En este libro se han incluido 170 hojas que no son difíciles de obtener ni para el coleccionista, ni para el que quiera documentarlas o simplemente disfrutarlas. La idea de El libro de las hojas distinguidas es resaltar estas hojas vistosas ayudar en su identificación. Con esa intencion, se incluye, junto a la fotografia de cada hoja, una breve descripción de la misma con el nombre especifico de cada especie y, en muchos casos, con el nombre por el que es conocida corrientemente.

Con esta nueva publicación, el Dr. Juan A. Rivero, profesor distinguido de la universidad de Puerto Rico, Recinto de Mayaguez, fomenta el aprecio de este elemento de nuestra flora, no solo como fuente de oxigeno y alimento, sino tambien como motivo de gozo y contemplación estetica.


The book of the distinguished leaves is about those plants which are recognized for the unique beauty of their leaves. They are gems of the vegetable world that distinguished more for their foliage than for their flowers, which occupy a second place for those who cultivate and admire these plants. The truth is that there are thousands of distinguished leaves by their general aspect, form and color.

In this book 170 leaves have been included that are not difficult to obtain neither for the collector, neither for the one that want to document them or the simply curious. The principal purpose of The Book of Distinguished Leaves is to highlight and identify these attractive leaves. This is accomplished by placing the image of the leaf accompanied by a brief description of the same, the specific species name and, in most cases, the name by which it is generally known to the lay public.

In this most recent work Dr. Juan A. Rivero, Distinguished Professor of the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez campus, promotes our appreciation of the flora, not only as a source of oxygen and food but also as a source of great joy and aesthetic contemplation.
