Originally published in 1948, this
is the seminal text on nearly 250 species of sping wild flowers found
in
West Virginia. Common or English names and scientific or Latin names
are
given for each species. The descriptions are in two sections: the first
description includes the meaning of the name of the flower, uses,
habitats,
and ranges in West Virginia. Secondly, the plant itself is described in
deep detail to help in identification. Each description is accompanied
by a facing page detailed line drawing. This book is a must have for
those
interested in the beauty and science of West Virginia’s
spring flora.
