Rainforest Publications' Fold-Out Pocket Field Guides are designed to slip into your pocket so that you can easily access our field guides and identify the flora and fauna you see while on your walks, hikes, and excursions through Costa Rica.
Rainforest Publications' Costa Rica Tropical Trees of the Osa Peninsla Fold-out Pocket Field Guide is specifically designed for the Manuel Antonio State Park. The trees grow in the lush tropical rainforest but they can be found as far north as the Manuel Antonio State Park.
The illustrations on this fold-out field guide from Rainforest Publications were created by British naturalist, Robert Dean, who has lived and worked in Monteverde, Costa Rica, since the early 1990s.
Special thanks to Ing. Maynor Carranza V. (Herbarvio Juvenal Valerio EDECA-UNA) for his expert contributions.
The length of the tree indicates the maximum height in meters.
The illustration of each species on the field guide is accompanied by the name of the species in English, Spanish, and Latin.
