Excerpt from Palm Trees of the Amazon and Their Uses
In this little work careful engravings from my original drawings are given, with a general description of each species, and a history from personal observation of the various uses to which it is applied, and of any other interesting particulars connected with it. Several of the species here figured are new, and among them is the Palm which produces the piassaba, the coarse fibrous material of which brooms for street-sweeping are now generally made.

Excerpt from Palm Trees of the Amazon and Their Uses
The materials for this work were collected during my travels on the Amazon and its tributaries from 1848 to 1862. Though principally occupied with the varied and interesting animal productions of the country I yet found time to examine and admire the wonders of vegetable life which everywhere abounded. In the vast forests of the Amazon valley tropical vegetation is to be seen in all its luxuriance. Huge trees with buttressed stems tangled climbers of fantastic forms and strange parasitical plants everywhere meet the admiring gaze of the naturalist fresh from the meadows and heaths of Europe.
