Plants of Western Oregon, Washington and British Columbia

Plants of Western Oregon, Washington & British Columbia is the definitive guide to the rich and varied plant life of the Pacific Northwest, from the shores of the Pacific Ocean east to the crest of the Cascades, and from northwestern California through Oregon, Washington, and into British Columbia. Its botanical coverage is complete, with the plants native to the region as well as those that have been introduced, either intentionally or as weeds, and that have become naturalized. It includes the rich flora of the Siskiyou Mountains (also called the Klamath Mountains) of southwestern Oregon and northwestern California, with its interesting endemics. The ecologically significant sedge, rush, and grass families — important to those interested in the environment and restoration of wetlands and prairies — are also treated in detail.

The user-friendly keys and more than 700 color photographs and 350 line drawings facilitate the identification of the more than 2500 species that occur in the area. The keys and commentaries contain information on the distributions, habitats, and notable features of the plants. Introductory chapters clearly explain everything that an amateur needs to know to identify plants successfully, and a chapter on the geographic and geologic setting of the flora reveals the distinctive features of the varied landscapes in which the plants grow. Thus Plants of Western Oregon, Washington &/ British Columbia is for biologists, native plant enthusiasts, ecologists, conservationists, and amateur naturalists who wish to have a comprehensive, up-to-date, well-illustrated book for identifying all the plants in the heart of the Pacific Northwest.
