Book Description
The aim of this work was to furnish to botanists exploring the locality [of Washington, D.C.] and as an aid to beginners in practical botany. The extent of territory which has of late years been tacitly recognized by botanists here as constituting the area of what has been called "Flora Columbiana" is limited on the north by the Great Falls of the Potomac, and on the south by the Mount Vernon Estate, in Virginia, and Marshall Hall, just opposite this on the Marlyland side of the river, while it may reach back from the river as far as the divide to the east, where the waters fall into the Chesapeake Bay, and as far west as the foot of the Blue Ridge, so as not to embrace any of the peculiarly mountain forms.

Book Description
Flora of the Pacific Northwest, first published in 1973, became an instant classic for its innovative style of providing species descriptions in the identification keys, and for its comprehensive illustrations of nearly all treated taxa (species, subspecies, and varieties). Students rely on it as an essential primer, while veteran botanists and natural resource managers use it as the definitive reference for the region�s flora. This completely revised and updated edition captures the advances in vascular plant systematics over the decades since publication of the first edition. These advances, together with significant changes in plant nomenclature, the description of taxa new to science from the region, and the recent documentation of new native and nonnative species in the Pacific Northwest required a thorough revision of this authoritative work. Flora of the Pacific Northwest covers all of Washington, the northern half of Oregon, Idaho north of the Snake River Plain, the mountainous portion of western Montana, and the southern portion of British Columbia. It accounts for the wild-growing native and introduced vascular plants falling within those boundaries and includes: Treatment of 5,545 taxa (more than 1,000 taxa added from the first edition) Illustrations for 4,716 taxa (1,382 more than the first edition) Nomenclature changes for more than 40 percent of the taxa included in the first edition These enhancements make this new edition the most comprehensive reference on Pacific Northwest vascular plants for professional and amateur botanists, ecologists, rare plant biologists, plant taxonomy instructors, land managers, nursery professionals, and gardeners.

Book Description
The Field Guide to the Rare Plants of Washington offers a window into the beauty and diversity of the rarest plants in the state and serves as a field guide for people seeking to find and identity these species.Field Guide to the Rare Plants of Washington includes: -317 vascular plants, six mosses, and one lichen -Full-color photographs of the plants and their habitats, line drawings, and distribution maps -Detailed species descriptions, identification tips, and recommended times for making identifications -Current conservation status and state rank -Complete reference list, synonymies, and glossary Each rare plant is fully characterized through rich description of its appearance, reproductive strategy, associated plants, and habitat, identification of current threats to its survival in Washington, and scarcity in areas outside the state. A trip across Washington presents an array of habitats, from dripping spruce and hemlock forests along the coast to arid grasslands and shrub-steppe and sand dune systems east of the mountains, from low-elevation outwash prairies to treeless slopes of volcanoes and granite peaks, from basalt flows and rocky islands to salt marshes and tiny seeps and riparian edges. This book brings attention to the rarest and least understood plant species that find niches in this complex landscape. Pamela Camp is a private consultant in field biology and restoration ecology and former Spokane District Botanist with the Bureau of Land Management. John C. Gamon is a Natural Heritage Program Manager with the Department of Natural Resources. "This guide will be the primary source of information on rare plants for land managers, ecological consultants, and others who need the most recent data on Washington's rare plants. I heartily endorse and recommend it." -Art Kruckeberg "It is axiomatic that you cannot conserve that which you cannot find or identify, and that more biological losses owe to ignorance than to malice or indifference. This is why I take such heart and pleasure in the Field Guide to Rare Plants of Washington. By refreshing the great botanical legacy of Hitchcock, Kruckeberg, Denton and their ilk with contemporary knowledge and nomenclature, enriched by thirty-three years of experience from the Washington Natural Heritage Program, the authors have created a clear and handsome volume of immense conservation importance for our time and for the challenging times to come. What we manage to save of our rich floristic heritage may be largely thanks to this book and its contributors." -Dr. Robert Michael Pyle, author of The Butterflies of Cascadia, Wintergreen, etc.

Book Description
Excerpt from Flora of the State of Washington, Vol. 11 The following account of the flora of the State of Washington, by Prof. C. V. Piper, is based on his study of the plants of that State during a period of twenty years. This work was carried on in chance hours of leisure and in occasional summer vacations. During most of the college year 1899-1900, however, Professor Piper was at the Gray Herbarium looking up critical material and examining the specimens of older collectors, especially those upon which publications had been based. Considerable time was devoted also to other large Herbaria, particularly those of the United States National Museum, of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and of the New York Botanical Garden. The private herbaria of Prof. L. F. Henderson, of Mr. Thomas Howell, and of Mr. W. N. Suksdorf were likewise freely consulted. Most of the types of the new species published by Professor Piper in the present work and in earlier papers are in the United States National Herbarium, and a large part of the whole material on which this flora is based is also represented there. In the course of his work Professor Piper examined specimens of nearly all the collections made within the confines of the State of Washington, so far as these are to be found in American herbaria. Thus it was possible to ascertain the identity of nearly all the species which had been accredited to the State through erroneous determination. Unfortunately several of the specimens upon which the names in published lists were based are not now to be found in the herbaria in which they might be expected. This is true particularly of Cooper's plants and in less degree of those of the Wilkes Expedition, so that the identity of such plants can only be surmised. In publications on the collections of Menzies, Douglas, Scouler, and Tolmie there are many plant names that can be definitely rectified only by examining the original specimens. It is quite certain also that the current interpretation of a number of species based on these early collections is erroneous. Their correction will require an examination of the types, which are in European herbaria. With few exceptions no species has been admitted into this flora unless its author has actually studied Washington specimens. In the course of the preparation of this work Professor Piper became indebted to many botanists for assistance.
