Abstract
The tropical American region of the Pacific Basin is undoubtedly the Basin’s most poorly known region floristically. It is probably also the richest in number of species. I present here a brief history of floristic work in the area, a review of the region’s ecological geography and a summation of the interaction of history and ecology which has led to the present day situation. The current status of floristics in the region is assessed from this perspective and some proposed directions of future floristic research are suggested.
