Until now, there has not been a single, full-color guide to some of
the most recognizable genera of the southwestern United States:
Agave, Dasylirion, Hechtia, Hesperaloe, Hesperoyucca, Nolina, and
Yucca (the century plants, sotols, false agaves, chaparral yuccas,
beargrasses, and yuccas). Some of the species treated in this guide
have previously appeared scattered throughout a dozen other field
guides, often split roughly between wildflowers and woody plants,
or they have been confined to studies of small geographic regions.
Still others have appeared virtually nowhere other than in the
Flora of North America or in various state floras. Intended for the
layperson, Agaves, Yuccas, and Their Kin covers all currently
recognized taxa of these seven genera, in alphabetical order,
ranging from Texas to the Pacific. Geographically, this guide
covers all of the southwestern United States, encompassing southern
California, southern Nevada, all of Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and
New Mexico, plus western Texas, from Brownsville north through the
Panhandle into Colorado, including the Edwards Plateau. It includes
forms that may have been discounted at some time by various
authors, as well as recently published or as yet unpublished taxa
not previously presented in any other book. Complete with almost
four hundred color photographs of species in various life cycle
stages, Agaves, Yuccas, and Their Kin is a comprehensive,
accessible, and much needed field guide for xerophile enthusiasts
all across the Southwest
