Botanical keys to Florida's trees, shrubs, and woody vines

About this book

This handy handbook, which can be used independently or as a companion to "The Trees of Florida" and "The Shrubs and Woody Vines of Florida," makes it possible to easily identify all of Florida's native and naturalized woody plants. The text is formatted as a traditional botanical key, offering a series of either/or decisions leading to the precise identification of a plant in hand. Designed primarily for field use and targeted to both amateurs and professionals, the keys are clear, concise, non-technical, and rely on conspicuous and easily seen features with emphasis on characteristics that are observable year-round. An important addition to any plant lover's field gear.
