By Gil Nelson
This unique botanical key is a field guide for amateurs and professionals, featuring the leaves, flowers, fruit, and other characteristics of 968 species of trees, shrubs, and vines. Two keys are presented. The Master Key to Major Groups of Woody Plants leads to subsidiary keys or a plant family. The family keys identify species within a particular family. Species within particular genera are grouped together within the family keys.
Besides a detailed description of each plant, the author provides the likely areas where each can be found and a Glossary of Common Botanical Terms.
