Scott Zona (born 1959) is an American botanist. From 1993 to 2008, he was the Palm Biologist at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. From 2008 to 2017, he served as the curator for the Florida International University Wertheim Conservatory.[1] He is noted for his study of palms[2] and is co-editor for Palms, the journal of the International Palm Society.[3]
He has done botanical research in the Western Pacific, Caribbean, Central America, South America, Madagascar, Malesia and the continental United States[4] and published over 175 scientific and popular articles.[1] He was honored with the Jesse M.
