This is an excellent book. It does a good job of identifying shrubs and trees. It shows illustrations of: Flowers, if any, Leaves, and fruit, along with the average size of the plant. Each plant has a detailed description which helps distinguish it from similar plants.I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Outdoors, Hiking, plants, gardening, you get the idea....
has a lot of info, if you read it carefully, just one line drawings, with no color, so you have to really read and study the descriptions, won't use it much , still looking for a book with color photos of this topic
It was quite good for the areas major vegetation types. It does not (and could not at this size ) record all the vegetation in the region but certainly the major types for each elevation are brought into focus.
Can not really use in the field
