fragile lands and species of the Sandhills region of the Carolinas
and Georgia. Characterized by longleaf pine forests, rolling hills,
abundant blackwater streams, several major rivers, and porous sandy
soils, the Sandhills region stretches from Fayetteville, North
Carolina, southwest to Columbus, Georgia, and represents the
farthest advance of the Atlantic Ocean some 2 million years ago.

natural communities whose plants are described here. Bruce A.

with its own species description, and over 540 color photos for
easy identification. The field guide's opening section includes an
introduction to the Sandhills region's geology, soil types, and
special relationship to fire ecology; an overview of rare species
and present conservation efforts; a glossary and key to flower and
leaf structures; and a listing of gardens, preserves, and parklands
in the Sandhills region and nearby where wildflowers can be seen
