Some of the species treated in this guide have previously appeared scattered throughout a dozen other field guides, often split roughly between wildflowers and woody plants, or they have been confined to studies of small geographic regions. Still others have appeared virtually nowhere other than in the \u003ci\u003eFlora of North America\u003c\/i\u003e or in various state floras.\u003cbr\u003e             Intended for the layperson, \u003ci\u003eAgaves, Yuccas, and Their Kin\u003c\/i\u003e covers all currently recognized taxa of these seven genera, in alphabetical order, ranging from Texas to the Pacific. Geographically, this guide covers all of the southwestern United States, encompassing southern California, southern Nevada, all of Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico, plus western Texas, from Brownsville north through the Panhandle into Colorado, including the Edwards Plateau. It includes forms that may have been discounted at some time by various authors, as well as recently published or as yet unpublished taxa not previously presented in any other book.\u003cbr\u003e             Complete with almost four hundred color photographs of species in various life cycle stages, \u003ci\u003eAgaves, Yuccas, and Their Kin\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive, accessible, and much needed field guide for xerophile enthusiasts all across the Southwest.","brand":"Texas Tech University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47046720127216,"sku":"9780896729391","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780896729391_p0.jpg?v=1763851414","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780896729391","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
