California and Nevada hold a vast array of plant life, many desert
plants – and Cacti, Agaves, and Yuccas of California and Nevada is
therefore a key pick for any California travel or nature collection
strong in botany. Sixty species are featured with detailed description
complimented by nearly three hundred color photos, 16 botanical
watercolors, and over fifty maps. It serves as both a field guide
identifying plants and as a natural history survey for any California
collection strong in plants.
