Botanical surveys involved collecting voucher specimens of native and naturalized species and some cultivated plants in the National Park of American Samoa, includes all park islands (Tutuila Tau, Ofu and Olosega). Goal was to inventory and document three main groups of plants: 1) food crops that are cultivated or harvested from wild plants; 2) plants harvested for non-food uses; and 3) plants documented in the literature and/or verified by Samoans as food sources for flying foxes. Includes photographs of plants (in digital format), plant lists, and maps of surveyed area.
