Description
Guide to the Plants of Arizona's White Mountains will be very useful for all botanists and amateurs enjoying this relatively cool, mostly coniferous, volcanic area in Navajo and Apache counties.--Marcel Rejmanek, Plant Science Bulletin An excellent handbook to the many plant species found in this unique region.--The Blazing Star, newsletter of the North American Native Plant Society An ideal companion for the amateur wanderer.--Arizona Daily Sun It is easy to imagine a dog-eared copy of this manual lying on the dashboard as you drive through the natural wonders of the White Mountains. That's because it is easy to use and covers a small enough area to allow for the inclusion of all the commonly occurring species in the area.--Ries Lindley, The Plant Press
