PALMS OF VIETNAM with Andrew HendersonÂ
Andrew Henderson, Botanist/Palm Specialist at New York Botanical Garden since 1987. During his tenure at the Garden, Mr. Henderson has been primarily involved in systematic research on the palm family. He has revised approximately 30 genera comprising 800 species. His revisionary work has been based on extensive field work in various countries in both the American and Asian tropics. Additionally, Henderson has always had an interest in the natural history of palms which led him to publish several studies on pollination.
Over the years conducting field work, Henderson has come to realize the importance of fields guides and has had the opportunity to develop guides for specialized botanical knowledge fora wider audience. In fact, Henderson and his Vietnamese colleagues have just completed afield guide to the palms of Vietnam, which included a revision of the rattan genus Calamus.
As member of the International Palm Society since 1982, Henderson has felt fortunate to not only be a part of the IPS but to have had several research projects funded by the wonderful organization.
