A Plant Key to the Chaparral
Title |
Key to Coastal and Chaparral Flowering Plants of Southern California (Third Edition) |
Author |
Dr. Barbara J. Collins |
Description |
The book has been written for the lay person and is an attempt to make it possible to identify plants without having an extensive botanical background. The key to the identification of the plants is simplified, and terminology is kept to a minimum. A glossary occurs in the back of the book to define all terms. All plants are illustrated with line drawings. The book does not have color photographs, however. These are entirely limited to this web site. |
