Table Of ContentVirginia Trees & Wildflowers, An Introduction to Familiar Species, is a must-have, reference guide for beginners and experts alike. Whether you're on a nature hike or taking a stroll in your neighborhood, you'll want to take along a copy of this indispensable guide. The Pocket Naturalist(tm) series is an introduction to common plants and animals and natural phenomena. Each pocket-sized, folding guide highlights up to 150 species and most feature a map identifying prominent sanctuaries and outstanding natural attractions. Each is laminated for durability.

SynopsisVirginia is a richly vegetated state, with over 3,200 plant species having been recorded within its borders. Perhaps the most familiar is state tree Flowering Dogwood, with white blooms that dazzle in the understories of hardwood forests each spring. Almost two thirds of Virginia is covered in forest, most of which is hardwoods, with smaller amounts of pine-oak and coniferous. Many unique aquatic and semi-aquatic species grow in salt marshes and freshwater tidal marshes close to the Atlantic coast. For many people, plants represent a major aspect of a landscape's character, yet it can be overwhelming to sift through such a diverse array of species. It helps, then, to have a portable reference to cut though the clutter and focus on a smaller group of the most representative species. You can do this with Virginia Trees & Wildflowers, which is beautifully illustrated with 140 common and familiar trees, shrubs, and wildflowers as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 botanical sanctuaries and learning sites.
