Plants of Coastal British Columbia

Summary: good books
Review: The "plants of....." series is the best most comprehensive botanical reference materials for the Northwest and southern BC as well as the interior, I highly reccomend these books to anyone who has interest in the indigenous species of these areas. As a proffessional Forester I have foujnd myself constantly referring to these books to identify, shrubs, herbs and trees, as well as mosses and lichens. And if your memory is as bad as mine this book will become a mainstay and welcome addition to your reference collection.

Summary: Northwest Plant Identification Guide
Review: This is the best guide to native (and nonnative) plants growing in the Pacific Northwest that I have found. Photographs are excellent and are accompanied by detailed descriptions of leaves, flowers and fruits and a location map showing the range of each plant. The book is over 500 pages with two plants described on each page. It is very comprehensive.
