A tree is defined as a woody perennial plant, having a single elongated trunk with several branches spreading at a certain height which give shape to its canopy (crown). The trunk usually has a minimum diameter of 10 cm at chest height. The leaves may be deciduous (falling seasonally) or evergreen. Young trees with a trunk measuring less than 10 cm in diameter are called saplings. Most tree species are flowering plants or conifers. They are distributed throughout the world, with the highest diversity in rainforests of the tropical regions. The majority of tree species belong to the families Dipterocarpaceae (Dipterocarps), Fagaceae (Beech family) and Lauraceae (Laurel family). Trees are used to produce a variety of our needs, including timber, furniture, paper and medicine. They also play an important role in preserving the environment (ecosystems) by preventing land degradation and erosion, producing oxygen and absorbing carbon dioxide and managing microclimates.

The study of ascomycetes, especially in the tropics, is problematic because literature is scattered throughout numerous journals and is often very difficult to obtain. This book describes ascomycetes on palms following a study in Australia, Brunei and Hong Kong. Many ascomycetes genera are reviewed and more than 50 new species are described. Species are illustrated with numerous light micro- graphs. Many of the genera included are not confined to palms and it is hoped that this book will provide a basis for studying and identifying genera of temperate and tropical fungi. We hope that mycologists can use this book and enjoy studying microfungi without the frustrations of lacking literature.
