In the spirit of the avid desert botanist Willis Linn Jepson, The
Jepson Desert Manual provides botanical enthusiasts of all
backgrounds with the first comprehensive field guide focused
exclusively on native and naturalized vascular plants of
California's southeastern deserts. Based on The Jepson Manual:
Higher Plants of California, the Desert Manual incorporates new
illustrations for more than two hundred desert taxa, revised keys
to identification, updated distributional information, and 128
color photographs. This guide will allow easier identification of
California's fascinating desert plants than would be possible in a
manual with broader geographic coverage. As in The Jepson Manual,
detailed descriptions and illustrations of plant characteristics
are provided, along with information on native versus alien status,
habitats, elevation, endangerment, toxicity, weed status,
horticultural requirements, and flowering times. Introductory
sections on the desert setting and vegetation offer the reader a
broad context and new perspectives for appreciating the more than
twenty five hundred plant species included in the Manual. For
amateur and professional botanists alike, the Desert Manual will
prove to be an invaluable companion in California's spectacular
Mojave Desert, Sonoran Desert, and southern Great Basin
environments, including the White Mountains.
