ARIZONA RARE PLANT FIELD GUIDE

This long-awaited book has finally been published by the U.S. Government Printing Office! The book was produced by the Arizona Rare Plant Committee, a collaboration of agencies and organizations, including AZNPS. This handsome notebook-style field guide lists more than 125 species of plants that are rare in Arizona. For each species there is a description, including phenology, management responsibility, habitat, range, and notes. Beautiful drawings and color photos illustrate each species, along with a very general map. In addition, the species are listed not only by botanical name, but also by management responsibility (e.g., Coconino National Forest), and by county.
A limited number of books are available free from the sponsoring organizations. Copies may be obtained from Forest Service offices, the Native Plant Society, the Arizona Nature Conservancy, and botanical gardens. If you cannot find one in your locale, send $4 to cover postage to AZNPS, PO Box 41206, Tucson, AZ 85717.
