Abstract: Document concerning a taxonomic catalog presenting common and scientific names of trees and shrubs found in the Mariana, Caroline, and Marshall Islands. The geographic focus encompasses these three island groups located in the western Pacific Ocean. The document includes botanical nomenclature and classification details relevant to the flora of these islands. The time period explicitly addressed in the catalog spans the late 20th century, with publication dates indicated around the early 1980s. The catalog is structured as a systematic survey of plant species, listing both vernacular and Latin names to facilitate identification and study. The treatment of Micronesia is affirmative, as the Caroline and Marshall Islands are integral parts of this region, and their vegetation is cataloged alongside that of the Mariana Islands. The document reflects botanical and ecological subject domains, emphasizing plant taxonomy, species distribution, and regional biodiversity. It includes references to institutional and scientific standards for plant naming conventions, aligning with contemporary botanical practices. The catalog functions as a comprehensive reference for the identification and classification of woody plants in these Pacific island groups, supporting botanical research and regional flora documentation.
