This is the long, catalog/marketing description of the product. Arkansas — aptly named the Natural State — has over half of its land covered in forest and features varied topography as well as a temperate climate. These factors help it support over 2,700 species of vascular plants, including several rare and endemic species. Identifying and getting to know so many plants is a tall order, so it’s useful to start by getting familiar with 140 common and familiar trees and wildflowers, as you can do with the help of this beautifully illustrated collection. The ecoregion map featuring over 20 botanical sanctuaries is especially useful. Laminated for durability, this 12-panel folding pocket guide is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and botanists looking to identify the state’s common plants and forge more meaningful relationships with them. Made in the USA.
