Nevada Trees & Wildflowers: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Plants
This is the long, catalog/marketing description of the product.Amid Nevada’s swaths of sagebrush, creosote bush, and greasewood are pockets of tremendous plant diversity, which help make the Silver State one of the most flora-rich states in the US. There are over 2800 native flower plant species in Nevada, which is largely situated on the Great Basin, an arid plateau interspersed with many small mountain ranges running north to south. In the low-lying Mojave Desert, plants like yucca, mesquite, and cacti are abundant. For many people, plants represent a major aspect of a landscape’s character, yet it can be challenging to sift through thousands of species. It helps, then, to cut through the clutter and focus on a smaller group of representative plants to establish a solid foundation of knowledge. You can do so with the portable reference Nevada Trees & Wildflowers. This collection features beautiful illustrations of 140 common and familiar trees, shrubs, and wildflowers as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 botanical sanctuaries and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a great plant identification tool for educators, learners, naturalists, and botanists, while serving as a window into plants’ fascinating life histories. Made in the USA.
