Book Description
Excerpt from Common Forest Trees of Georgia: How to Know Them In 1930, the handbook was reprinted by the Florida Forest Service. The only change from the original edition was the inclusion of a supplemental list of 158 less important native species not described. Florida is the most prolific state in the Union in tree flora. There are approximately 314 species growing in the state, comprising almost half of all the trees in North America, north of Mexico. The state's tree flora can be broken down into four principal divisions: sweet gum, red maple, tulip tree and slash pine in the north; a southern-division composed of longleaf pine, magnolia, and cypress; a Caribbean representa tion including royal palm, mahogany, and gumbo limbo and an endemic representation such as Florida yew, dune holly, and Florida hickory.

Common Trees of North & Northwest Florida
Author: The Trees of Florida
Author: Gil NelsonPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1683343654
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 529
Book Description
This book is the first comprehensive guide to Florida's amazing variety of tree species: from scrub oak on the high central ridges to mangroves stretching along the southern coasts, from mighty live oaks to the delicate and diminutive hawthornes, from bald cypress with their knees poking up from the swamps to the coppery-colored gumbo limbo found in tropical hammocks of the Everglades and Keys, from the sabal palm found all over the state to the rare and endangered yew found only along the banks of the Apalachicola River in northern Florida. Florida, unique among the states, has both tropical and temperate forests. The early Florida visitor was awed by miles of unending pine flatwoods. Most modern Florida visitors are amazed by the lush tropical trees planted in cities, suburbs, and public gardens. This book covers both natives and exotics and includes suggested field sites for observing the species described. Divided into two sections, this book serves as both a reference and a field guide. Both sections help the reader answer the question “What tree is that?" by focusing on the families of Florida's trees. The line drawings show a combination of typical leaves, fruits, and flowers, and while accurate in detail, capture an overall impression, so helpful when trying to identify a species in the field. The color photos, all taken in Florida, are useful where color is important in identification. The first edition was very popular with both professionals and laypeople alike—it was heralded as accurate, comprehensive, and organized and written in an easy-to-understand way. This edition will be even more useful, as it adds about 140 more tree accounts for a total of more than 480 species. There are almost 600 color photos and many drawings and range maps. And now included is a key to tree families that will help with field identification.
The Ecology of the Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines of Northern Florida
Author: Robert W. SimonsPublisher: University Press of Florida
ISBN: 0813057833
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 439
Book Description
This book is an invaluable compilation of ecological information on 244 species of trees, shrubs, and woody vines found in the northern half of the Florida peninsula and in the Florida Panhandle. It covers the full range of native species in the region as well as common exotic plants, drawing on original experience and field research by ecologist Robert Simons. For each species, Simons describes the plant’s leaves, flowers, and fruit, geographical distribution, size, and lifespan. He also discusses its typical habitats, soil and light requirements, water needs and flooding tolerance, adaptation to fire, economic importance, and the plants, insects, and diseases most often associated with it. Notably, the book focuses on each plant’s relationship with wildlife, including which species eat the fruit or foliage or pollinate the flowers. It also features an introduction to the biological communities of northern Florida and a helpful glossary of botanical terms. The Ecology of the Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines of Northern Florida provides gardeners, landscapers, scientists, and students a foundational understanding of how these plants fit into the communities of organisms in which they live and how they have adapted to their place in their physical environment.
