A Field Guide to the Trees and Shrubs of the Southern Appalachians - Paperback
by Robert E. Swanson (Author), Frances R. Swanson (Illustrator)
Although the title suggests this is a guide to plants in a limited geographic range, the plants here are found in many areas of eastern North America, and the book can therefore be used as a guide for this larger area. But for naturalists visiting the beautiful area of the Southern Appalachians, it is a detailed and useful guide to the amazing variety of trees, shrubs, and woody vines growing there.
