Editorial Reviews
Bart O'Brien, Director of Horticulture Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden; reviewed in The Southern California Gardener July/August 1999
Conifers of California is a spectacular work that fills a huge gap in the popular literature of California flora...Lanner's writing style is clear, informative and accessible to all readers. Impressive watercolor botanical illustrations (principally by Eugene O. Murman and a few by Susan Bazell) and sumptuous photgraphs (contributed by many) depict all of the species covered in the text. All California gymnosperms are covered in this volume, except, unfortunately, the genus Ephedra (Mormon tea), of which there are eight native taxa. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Jane Villa-Lobos, Plant Talk, July 1999
California is home to about 10% of the world's conifer taxa, including pines, firs, spruces, junipers, hemlocks, and other cone-bearers. Each species is succintly and comprehensibly described as to its biology, habitat, indentifying features (at a distance, standing beneath it, and in the hand) as well as its distribution, including a map. An exquisite full-page color painting by Eugene O. Murman (1872-1962) illustrates the foliage, cone and seeds for each species. In addition, color photographs of the habitat and the tree give the reader a vivid image of these majestic species...This book should be read by all interested in California's fantastic forests. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
