Three of the great physical regions of the United States extend into or across Oklahoma, and this diverse geography provides habitats for a diversity of indigenous trees and shrubs. Doyle McCoy has visited every Oklahoma county - from the High Plains of the northwestern Panhandle around Black Mesa with its scattering of Juniper-Pinion vegetation, through the thickets of Post and Blackjack Oaks in the rolling Interior Plains of the central portion of the state, and to the Oak-Pine and Loblolly Pine forests of the Red River (Gulf Coastal) Plains of southeastern McCurtain County - to photograph its more widely distributed varieties. This first popular guide to Oklahoma's trees and shrubs is useful to old and young alike. It provides 156 excellent color plates that are easy and dependable guides to plant identification and brief nontechnical descriptions. Botanical terms are defined in the glossary, providing cyclists and hikers, school or scout groups, and weekend naturalists a better acquaintance with the science of plant life. The author gives both the scientific and the common names of trees and shrubs native to Oklahoma and tells the amateur botanist where to find them. It is a pocketbook education not easily available elsewhere.
