Gentians of the Eastern United StatesThis book by Jim Drake covers the family Gentianaceae occurring within the eastern United States. It is possibly the most comprehensive text covering the vast range of genera included within the family Gentianaceae. Drake has attempted to provide descriptions of all members of this family within his very broadly ascribed eastern United States. Text descriptions along with ample photographs help the reader to understand and enjoy the range of wildflowers included within this diverse family. Beginning withBartoniaand finishing withVoyria, this text attempts to fill the genera in between. Not only focusing on the blue gentians, this guide gives equal treatment to the rest of the eastern gentian family including both common and less well-known members. |
