Riassunto

British Columbia's Lower Mainland is one of the greatest natural gardens in the world. Its lush parks and forests are home to a dazzling variety of plants, from giant cedar to delicate starflowers, from Labrador tea to insect-eating sundews. Ideal for hikers, walkers, kayakers or anyone else who loves exploring the outdoors, this handy, pocket-sized guide presents the most common native plants and flowers in the Lower Mainland. Detailed fact sheets on every species help with identification, and describe habitat, history, and use. This is one of the first two Raincoast Guides, a new series of handy, beautifully illustrated books. It features every plant found in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. There are 1 to 4 photographs of every species, plus black and white illustrations of leaf shapes and tree silhouettes. Each plant also has a fact sheet, with a short description and information on habitat, native use and the best places in each region to find it. Fold-out maps on the flaps present the region and shows the major hikes where the plants can be found.
