Book Description

A definitive reference to 2,010 vascular plant species (ferns, conifers, and flowering plants). The checklist section provides both a summary of nomenclature and extensive references to taxonomic literature. Maps show the geographic distribution of each plant. The flora of Minnesota is of special interest because it represents the western limits of the eastern deciduous forest flora, the northern and eastern boundaries of the flora of the prairies and great plains, and the southwestern limits of the northern coniferous forest.
