El volumen IV da continuidad a la serie Árboles de Costa Rica, iniciada hace 42 años y encargada de describir la flora arbórea de un país rico en biodiversidad. Esta guía de campo presenta 238 especies con hojas simples, comprendidas en 18 familias de plantas (Fabaceae-Malpighiaceae). Solo 39 de ellas son endémicas, lo cual significa que la obra incluye especies con amplia distribución, y por ello tendrá gran utilidad en la región centroamericana. El libro ofrece información sobre grupos de árboles (familias) conocidos por su importancia económica, muy diversos, taxonómicamente complejos y dominantes en nuestros bosques. La información por especie ha sido unificada para lograr el máximo paralelismo entre ellas y así facilitar la identificación comparativa. Las ilustraciones proveen caracteres diagnósticos relevantes que caracterizan a cada especie, y los mapas de distribución ayudan a fortalecer las decisiones al momento de hacer una identificación. Además, las fotografías ilustran la belleza e identidad de algunas de las especies. Este volumen resume el trabajo intenso de exploración y estudios taxonómicos hechos sobre nuestros bosques en los últimos 33 años, en los cuales los árboles han sido estudiados con énfasis.

The book offers information of tree groups (families) that are well known by its economic importance, high diversity, taxonomically complex and for been dominant in our forests. The information by species it been standardized to reach the maximum parallelism between them, to facilitate the comparative identification. The drawings show relevant diagnostic features that characterized each species and the distribution maps help to take decisions at the moment of making any identification. The pictures illustrate the beauty and identity of some of the species included. This volume summarized the intensive work of exploration and taxonomic studies done in our forests in the last 33 years, in which, the trees are been studied with emphasis.
