There are perhaps 3,000 species of flowering plants in Alabama, and the geography of the state provides for an impressive diversity--this work records in color photographs and brief but practical descriptions some 400 of the most common, most showy, and most interesting and significant of these species. A glossary, diagrams of flower parts and types, and an index will guide the curious lay person and satisfy the more serious student as well.
