Title: Catkin-bearing plants of British Columbia
First published: 1996
Description: Catkin-bearing trees and shrubs - willows, poplars, birches, alders and other woody plants - are an important group in British Columbia. They are found almost everywhere in the province, often dominating moister plant communities; but, despite their abundance, little is known about them. This newly revised edition is the most comprehensive and up-to-date work on catking-bearing plants in British Columbia. All 67 species are described and illustrated with detailed ink drawings by the author; and each has a distribution map. Diagnostic keys to the families, genera and species are also included. Catkin-Bearing Plants is an essential guide for biologists and naturalists studying forest ecology, and useful for anyone interested in trees and shrubs in British Columbia.
