Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, the result of a collaboration between leading academic institutions, is a comprehensive guide to the flora of Colorado. Detailing hundreds of plant species inhabiting the region, the book meticulously documents the plant life from the lowest foothills to the alpine terrain. The authors embarked on research expeditions and painstakingly compiled descriptions, including over a hundred species identified and recorded in Colorado for the very first time. The book includes thorough examinations of newly characterized species such as the rare Astragalus kentrophyta, and provides updated records for many others. Divided into various chapters based on taxonomic classification, the book provides detailed descriptions of each plant. These descriptions encompass the habitats and regions where the species are most likely to be found, their physical characteristics, and the elevations at which they can be observed. The book's significance lies in its extensive documentation of Colorado's rich plant life and its role in furthering our understanding of the region's natural history.
