Scott Earle (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 15, 2008

The second edition of Idaho Mountain Wildflowers has been greatly expanded. 225 more plants from the mountains of Idaho, (many of which are also found in neighboring states and provinces) have been added to almost double the size of this volume over that of the first edition.

In response to many requests, this edition of Idaho Mountain Wildflowers is in a soft cover format with french flaps for readers who wish to refer to the book in the field.

On the basis of ongoing molecular, chromosomal, and historical studies, many plants have been reclassified in the recent past. This edition stresses the new classifications (while noting the old ones) for every plant in this edition of Idaho Mountain Wildflowers.
