Guide to the plants of granite outcrops

"Granite outcrops support many plant species found in no other environments. William H. Murdy and M. Eloise Brown Carter combined their forty years of experience in the study of southeastern flora and granite outcrops to create this useful field guide to the plants of these unique rock habitats. This book provides descriptions of the plant species that occur in association with granite outcrops, arranged according to their flowering seasons.". "Designed for the recreational naturalist and specialist alike, the guide includes an illustrated glossary and an introduction that summarizes the origins and locations of granite outcrops and their characteristic species. This detailed catalog will be a welcome addition to the backpack or library of every enthusiast."--BOOK JACKET.
