Posted on by

Coe, F. G. 2025. Plantas Toxicas Y Nocivas de la Región Atlántica de Nicaragua. (n.p.): Primedia eLaunch LLC.

This massive, 1500-page, two-volume work details the toxic and noxious plants of Nicaragua. Each species features information on the description of the plant, its habitat and distribution, chemical composition, what is known about its toxicity, and illustrations. The author created most of the illustrations himself, but also features the work of several other talented botanical artists.
