California Spring Wildflowers

More about the book

Written by California botany expert, Philip A. Munz, CALIFORNIA SPRING WILDFLOWERS is a flower identification guide that will help the casual wildflower lover identify specific wildflower groups. For example there are dozens of penstemons, gilias, and paint-brushes, all very similar to one another. This book includes a general description and illustration for all of those similar plants within a group. Each sample plant is described as to likely location, description of the plant, uses if any, common name, and a line drawing. There are several pages of color photos, as well. The book is divided, like most flower identification guides, by the color of flower. This book is thoroughly indexed.
