Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated book is part of the series of handy, pocket-sized guides to every plant found in one region. This title includes one to four photographs of every species, plus illustrations of leaf shapes and tree silhouettes. Each plant has a fact sheet, with a short description and entries on habitat, native use and the best places to find it. A fold-out map presents the area and shows the major plant zones.Unlike most guides, this one only includes the species found in the targeted area, making it easier for hikers and plant enthusiasts to identify every plant they meet.
