This lavishly illustrated field guide contains information on 149 rare plants found in ten Northern California counties.
Each plant is described by scientific name from the 2001-updated California Native Plant Society (CNPS) "Inventory", any alternative scientific name, it's common name(s), family common name, global distribution, USGS quadrangles where the plant has been found, habitat, key features, flowering time, identification time, and diagnostic features. Each plant description is accompanied by photo of the mature plant (where available), a photo of the plant in its native habitat, a line art illustration of the plant showing diagnostic features, and a map showing the quadrangles where the plant has been found. Tables listing the species distribution by geographic subdivisions and species distribution in various habitats all aid you in finding and identifying these plants.
Illustrated with 297 color photographs, 149 illustrations, 11 tables, and 150 maps, including a generalized climate map of Northern California; this guide is a boon to anyone conducting rare plant surveys in Northern California. The photos and descriptions of the plants and their habitats will help you know what you're looking for; and you'll learn how to accurately distinguish rare plants from similar species in the field. Handy 5.5" x 8.5" size and sturdy spiral binding makes it easy to use in the field.
