Woody plants of the Southwest

"The notion of 'woody plants' is interpreted broadly enough to include soft shrubs, vines, and agaves...Most of the species listed are given enough description to permit identification, along with business-like line drawings, distribution maps, and photographs of each plant's general habit of growth...it should be useful for quick identification, especially since the striking characteristics of the plants are mentioned. Interesting features are the inclusion of notes on what plants are eaten by animals, and the meanings of the Latin names. Every college library in the area covered should have it." -- Choice, a publication of the Association of College and Research Libraries, a division of the American Library Association.
