A Sierra Nevada Flora

A Sierra Nevada Flora is for the outdoor enthusiast who is interested in the variety of plants that may be seen on a short walk or an extended trek along the Sierran trails. A Sierra Nevada Flora is a very practical and convenient guide helping the hiker to identify most Sierran plants without the use of a hand lens or the need to dissect flower or fruit. Plant characteristics easily observed in the field make up the keys. Author Norman Weeden has even included information on edibility for most genera. The use of specialized scientific terminology in the keys and plant descriptions has been minimized in order to make the book as easy to read and to use as possible for botany student, outdoor vacationer, or non-specialist general reader.
