Desciption
Arkansas―aptly named the Natural State―has over half of its land covered in forest and features varied topography as well as a temperate climate. These factors help it support over 2,700 species of vascular plants, including several rare and endemic species. Identifying and getting to know so many plants is a tall order, so it’s useful to start by getting familiar with 140 common and familiar trees and wildflowers, as you can do with the help of this beautifully illustrated collection. The ecoregion map featuring over 20 botanical sanctuaries is especially useful. Laminated for durability, this 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and botanists looking to identify the state’s common plants and forge more meaningful relationships with them. Made in the USA. Read more
Review
I am so impressed with this little pamphlet. I have plenty of books that try to explain to me how to ID trees based on leaf patterns and shapes, they are so confusing with all their scientific terminology that I just get lost. This guide shows the color and shape of the fruit/seeds, flowers and leaves, along with a profile of the tree in winter and a short description of the plant. It is extremely helpful in identifying the trees on my property. It helped considerably in identifying what types of oak trees I have--as some have green or brown acorns, and some lose their leaves in the winter and others hold onto them until spring. I will be purchasing more pocket guides by this company.
