Do you think anyone named C. Leo Hitchcock or Arthur Cronquist is going to lead you astray? These old-school botanists literally discovered new flora in the region. Flora of the Pacific Northwest: An Illustrated Manual is a comprehensive botanical reference and a cornerstone for identifying the region’s vascular plants. First published in 1973, the second edition, released in 2018 by the University of Washington Press, expanded coverage to 5,545 taxa, over 1,000 more than the first edition, accompanied by 4,716 illustrations and updated nomenclature reflecting advances in plant systematics. You see, the field of botany doesn’t rest; there are some seriously dedicated heroes working for your benefit. This second edition covers all of Washington, the northern half of Oregon, northern Idaho, western Montana, and southern British Columbia. It is widely regarded as the most authoritative reference for the area. This exhaustive, thick book is a must-have for anyone living in the Pacific Northwest. Don’t even think about it, buy it.
