Overview

Key to Coastal and Chaparral Flowering Plants of Southern California been produced as an introductory level field guide for the coastal sage scrub and chaparral plants of southern California, excluding grasses and sedges. In this updated key, an attempt has been made to make the terminology more accessible and to aid the user in identification through diagrams and explanations. Following the key are sections entitled INTRODUCTION TO FLOWERING PLANTS and GLOSSARY which includes additional illustrations and definitions for much of the terminology used. The purpose of this book is to stimulate an interest in plants and to inspire students to learn more about the positive (edibility, carbon sequestering, oxygen producing) and negative (poisonous) interactions which humans and plants may have with one another. Students may come away with a fresh and unique perspective about plants that you never had before, and find that a curiosity has been quenched or made even deeper. Whatever your experiences are after using this book, it is our hope that you will have a new appreciation for the coastal and chaparral plants of southern California.
