Chamuris, this comprehensive illustrated guide helps hikers, naturalists, photographers, students, and curious visitors confidently identify the plants they encounter throughout the park and adjoining State Game Lands 13 and 57.
Inside, you will find 564 vascular plant species representing 302 genera and 106 plant families, from club-mosses, ferns, and conifers to trees, shrubs, vines, wildflowers, sedges, rushes, and common grasses.
