A major contribution to Oregon and Great Basin flora, this field guide identifies plants of the botanically rich Steens Mountain and surrounding areas.

Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for Caxton Press Award winning photography and lithography sets this "coffee table" book apart from others of its type.

FNA presents for the first time, in one published reference source, information on the names, taxonomic relationships, continent-wide distributions, and morphological characteristics of all plants native and naturalized found in North America north of Mexico.

This illustrated guide makes flower identification easy for outdoor enthusiasts across New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon. This book is perfect for anyone who has little botanical knowledge but would like to know more about the wildflowers they encounter in nature. Organized by flower color for easy reference, plant records include the common and scientific names, a description of typical characteristics, habitat information and distribution maps, look-alike species, color photographs, and informative commentary. Stunning full color photographs make visual confirmation of flower type simple and straightforward. In addition, the book provides a useful introduction to the Mountain West region, along with line drawings to illustrate basic flower parts, shapes, and arrangements. It also features a glossary of common botanical terms, a quick search key, and a handy index.

A Stanford University Press classic.
