This is the first installment of a vascular Flora of the Marquesas Islands (French Polynesia).

A brief introduction outlines the history of the botany of the Marquesas, the materials on which the flora is based, problems in interpreting and using some of the collections, the climatic and geographic setting of the Marquesan Archipelago, and acknowledgments.
