[Steven McKay · Rating 4 out of 5]

Originally published in 1953 and revised in 1979, this book is a nice memento of the pre-computer era. While it is now easy to find cross-referenced lists of plant species with details regarding nomenclature, taxonomy, distributions, and economic uses, such information was once widely scattered. This labor of love was an attempt to provide a near-comprehensive resource for US shrubs and trees (excluding Alaska and Hawai'i).
