First sentence: Although not wildflowers in any sense at all, ferns and their allies are plants of woods and fields and interest so many of us that I could not resist putting in a few of the more conspicuous montane forms.
Description: "This guidebook describes and illustrates the wildflowers that grow from the yellow pine belt up into the natural rock gardens that grow above timberline. First published in 1963, this book has introduced thousands to California's mountain wildflowers. Now fully updated and revised, it reflects the many advances in botany that have occurred in the past forty years."--BOOK JACKET.
