註釋A stunning variety of shrubs and trees grow across the vast desert that extends from California to western Texas and from central Utah into Mexico. Shrubs and trees of the Southwest deserts will help you find and identify plants from this region's four great tracts of arid land: the Mojave, Sonoran, Chihuahuan, and the Great Basin deserts. Specialist and non-specialist alike will enjoy the detailed drawings and clear descriptions. Botanist Janice Emily Bowers describes how these plants have adapted to survive in the southwestern desert's extreme environment, adding interesting information about possible human uses. Brian Wignall's intricate illustrations include flower and fruit as well as clear views of the leaves of plants. Shrubs and trees of the Southwestern deserts also gives details about the ranges of plants and where you are most likely to see them. Handy color-coded pages and a detailed index with both common and scientific names make this one guide that is a delight to use. From enormous saguaro cactus to slender sweetbush, from spiny yucca to white-flowered desert cotton, Shrubs and trees is the essential guide to the southwestern deserts.
