Rocky Mountain Plant Guide
Autor George Oxford Milleren Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 oct 2023
The majestic Rocky Mountains provide a diverse landscape of life zones, habitats, and micro-niches, each packed with the wonders of nature. Plant life—from towering forests to dazzling mountain meadows—inspire, challenge, and stretch the human imagination. Get to know this region’s wildflowers, shrubs, and trees with the Rocky Mountain Plant Guide by George Oxford Miller.
Make field identification simple and informative. This comprehensive guide features 700 species of plants, organized by color and then by family for ease of use—with a separate section for trees. Detailed photographs present the plants as you’ll see them in nature, and a “similar species” feature helps you to decide between look-alikes.
Inside you’ll find:
- 700 species: Only Rocky Mountain wildflowers, shrubs, and trees
- Simple color guide: See a yellow plant? Go to the yellow section
- Quick ID: At-a-glance tips for identifying each species
- Professional photos: Larger and easier to see than other guides!
