About the Author
Chester P. Lyons is best known for his field guides on the plants of British Columbia and the rest of the Pacific Northwest but that only touches the surface of his considerable contribution to the natural history of the region. Lyons, who died in Hawaii in 1998 at the age of 83, was an avid naturalist, outdoorsman, nature writer and film maker of natural history subjects. As head of the B.C. Parks Service in its formative years, Chess was involved in exploring and planning the Wells Gray, Tweedsmuir, Manning and Bowron Lake Parks. He also directed the restoration of the famous old gold rush town of Barkerville. After retiring from public service, he toured extensively across North America, presenting films and lectures on the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

This review is from: Wildflowers of Washington (Lone Pine Field Guide) (Paperback)
Given that this is a small guide and that it tries to cover both sides of the Cascades, you can imagine how many common species are absent from this book. The photographs are pretty poor, and some of them are downright miserable. The plant descriptions are solid and some of the introductory material on Lewis and Clark is pretty good, but overall, spend a few more dollars to get a vastly superior Turner and Gustafson book.
