Native Trees of the Southeast: An
Identification Guide, by L. Katherine Kirkman, Claud L. Brown
& Donald J. Leopold The diversity of
woody plants in the southeast is unparalleled in North America.
Native Trees of the Southeast is a practical, compact field
guide for the identification of the more than 225 trees native to
the region, from the Carolinas and eastern Tennessee south through
Georgia into northern Florida and west through Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, and Arkansas into eastern Texas. For confident
identification, nearly 600 photographs, close to 500 of them in
color, illustrate leaves, flowers and fruits or cones, bark, and
twigs with buds. Full descriptions are accompanied by keys for
plants in both summer and winter condition, as well as over 200
range maps. Crucial differences between plants that may be
mistaken for each other are discussed, and notes on the uses of the
trees in horticulture, forestry, and for wildlife are included.
