Popis
The illustrated field guide to wetland and adjacent upland transitional plants has been designed to aid the layperson in identification of the more common species found in the Lahontan Valley wetlands. The guide includes descriptions and illustrations of 176 plants. A glossary of botanical terms and some basic illustrations are provided to assist in understanding the botanical terminology used in the descriptions. The guide is initially divided into five plant groups based on the overall habit of the plant. After careful observation of the unknown plant of interest and the habitat in which it occurs, use the following dichotomous key to select the group of plants in which it is placed in this guide. To use the key, read each couplet 1 and 1, and 2, etc. and select the couplet that best applies.
