Trees and Shrubs of the United States


Book Description

Selected references have been compiled for identification of the United States of wild and cultivated trees, shrubs, and woody vines, together known as woody vines. This bibliography of more than 470 titles lists general references as well as those of special geographic regions, all 50 States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam. The period covered is the interval from 1950 to 1975, but many older publications are cited. Special lists include bibliographies, check lists, atlases, references for genera and families, cultivated woody plants, identification in winter, and seeds and seedlings. There is an index to authors.

Woody Plants of Utah


Book Description

A comprehensive guide that includes a vast range of species and plant communities and employs thorough, original keys. Based primarily on vegetative characteristics, the keys don't require that flowers or other reproductive features be present, like many plant guides. And this guide's attention to woody plants as a whole allows one to identify a much greater variety of plants. That especially suits an arid region such as Utah with less diverse native trees. Woody plants are those that have stems that persist above ground even through seasons that don't favor growth, due to low precipitation or temperatures. Woody Plants of Utah employs dichotomous identification keys that are comparable to a game of twenty questions. They work through a process of elimination by choosing sequential alternatives. Detailed, illustrated plant descriptions complement the keys and provide additional botanical and environmental information in relation to a useful introductory categorization of Utah plant communities. Supplementary tools include photos, distribution maps, and an illustrated glossary.
