The
Shrub Identification Book: The
Visual Method for the Practical Identification of Shrubs, Including
Woody Vines and Ground Covers, George W.D.
Symonds This classic
book covers native shrubs common to the eastern half of the U.S. and
Canada. The book is in two parts, Pictorial Keys and Master
Pages. The Keys are designed for easy visual comparison of
details which look alike, narrowing the identification of a shrub to
one of a small group--the family or genus. Then in the Master
Pages, the species of the shrub is determined, with similar details
placed together to highlight differences within the family groups.
All of the 3550 photographs were made specifically for use in this
book and were taken either in the field or of fresh material
carefully selected from the more than 20,000 specimens collected.
Whenever possible, details such as leaves, fruit, twigs, etc.,
appear in actual size. Softcover, 380 pages, b&w
photographs. 8.5 x 11 inches.
