Author:
Publisher: University of Washington Press
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
As it sweeps through the Cascade Mountains, the Columbia River passes through an area of jagged cliffs and tumbling waterfalls--the Columbia Gorge. This Gorge, with its wide range of elevations and microclimates, is home to more species of flowering plants than any other region in the Pacific Northwest. Compiled by author and photographer Russ Jolley, this remarkable guide contains 744 of these plants. Each full-color photograph is accompanied by and entry listing the wildflower's common and scientific names, general habitat, blooming dates, and specific plant locations. To make the wildflowers easier to find, all blooming locations are within easy walking distance of roads and trailheads. Jolley also describes a series of field trips for readers unfamiliar with this area. Included, too, are a fold-out map of the Gorge, a convenient list of place names, and a table of blooming dates for all 744 flowering plants.

Flowers of the Table Rocks
Author: Susan K. MacKinnon
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780981459004
Category : Botany
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
"Flowers of the Table Rocks" is a non-technical, comprehensive photographic guide to the flowers of this well-known geologic formation and popular hiking spot in Southwestern Oregon. Although it covers a limited geographic area, the book is likely to appeal to a wider audience because of its many color photographs. These photos include close-ups of microscopic flower parts virtually never seen in field guides. Because of the limited geographic area involved, it is possible for the amateur wildflower enthusiast, with the help of the simplified key, photos, and tables, to identify the more than 300 flowering plant species representing more than 50 plant families found on the Table Rocks. Grasses, rushes and sedges have not been included.Unlike most flower guides, the book is organized by plant family rather than flower color. Plant identification becomes a more rational undertaking when one becomes aware of the similarities between species of a given family. Knowledge of family characteristics also facilitates identification of flowers in areas beyond the Table Rocks. In addition, the book attempts to show how even the most complex flower conforms to the basic floral pattern of sepals, petals, stamens and pistil(s). To make scientific names less intimidating, the derivation or meaning of each species¿ scientific name is listed in table format. Plant status (endangered, threatened, noxious weed, etc), three tables, and a glossary are included.
