About this book

Language: Dutch

Bomen van Paramaribo is an ode to the capital of Suriname, which is home to a large number of beautiful trees that give the city a unique character. Few capital cities harbour such a unique diversity of trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants as Paramaribo.

Part 1 treats the 100 most common tree species: indigenous trees, exotic species, fruit trees, and palm trees. For every tree species nomenclature and several interesting facts of botanical, geographical, cultural historical, culinary, or medicinal nature are given. The colourful selection of colour photos offer a good overview of the exuberant vegetation of the city.

The second part describes six itineraries through various parts of the city. Using the maps, one is able to enounter the trees described in the first part. The photos and text help with looking for and recognising the beautiful trees of Paramaribo.

Summary in Dutch:
Bomen van Paramaribo is een ode aan de hoofdstad van Suriname, die rijk is aan vele prachtige bomen. De bomen geven de stad een uniek karakter. Weinig hoofdsteden in de wereld hebben een zo unieke verscheidenheid aan bomen, struiken en kruidachtige planten als Paramaribo.

Deel 1 behandelt de 100 meest voorkomende boomsoorten: inheemse bomen, exoten, fruitbomen en palmen. Van iedere boomsoort worden de naamgeving en enkele wetenswaardigheden beschreven: botanische, geografische, cultuurhistorische, culinaire of medicinale aspecten van de soort. De illustraties zijn uitbundig en geven een fraai beeld van de overweldigende natuur in de stad.

In het tweede deel staan 6 wandelingen door verschillende stadsdelen. Aan de hand van kaartjes kan men al wandelend de boomsoorten uit deel 1 tegenkomen. De foto’s en teksten helpen bij het zoeken naar en herkennen van de prachtige bomen van Paramaribo.
