Covering approximately 50,000 square miles, the Ozarks is an upland
region that spans four states--Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and
Illinois. In this beautifully illustrated, practical field guide,
ecologist and botanist Thomas E. Hemmerly identifies more than 600
species of Ozark flowering plants. "Ozark Wildflowers" is the only
book with full color photographs that covers all flowering plants
of the Ozark region, including the Ouachita Mountains and Crowley's
Ridge.
Hemmerly's primary focus is herbaceous plants, but he also
includes an assortment of trees, shrubs, and woody vines with showy
flowers. He conveniently organizes the species descriptions
primarily by color and secondarily by the grand group--monocot or
dicot--to which they belong. To further assist the reader, Hemmerly
has included a glossary, an appendix of Ozark natural areas, a
bibliography, and an index.
In addition to serving as an identification guide, "Ozark
Wildflowers" features plants in the context of their environment
and the regions where they occur. Hemmerly surveys other plants and
animals that form communities with wildflowers and describes the
soil, water, climate, and geology that influence Ozark ecology. The
author also provides valuable information regarding any medical or
ethnobotanical uses of the plants discussed.
