Summary:
"The scope of this book encompasses the entire northeastern portion of the United States as well as adjacent
Canada
, in agreement with the most widely used flora for the area, the Manual of Vascular Plants of Northeastern United States and Adjacent
Canada
, by Gleason and Cronquist (1991)"--Page xi of Preface.
"This exquisitely illustrated volume provides an in-depth look at spring-blooming wildflowers of Northeast United States and adjacent
Canada
, from old favorites to lesser-known species. With more than 500 full-color photos, the book delves deep into the life histories, lore, and cultural uses of more than 35 plant species. Covers topics such as the naming of wildflowers; the reasons for taxonomic changes; pollination of
flowers
and dispersal of seeds; uses by First Nations peoples; related species in other parts of the world; herbivores, plant pathogens, and pests; medicinal uses; and wildflower references in history, literature, and literary and artistic references. Carol Gracie has worked for both The Nature Conservancy and The New York Botanical Garden"--Provided by publisher.
