A Guide to Plants of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks

While there are a number of references available on useful plants of the West and Rocky Mountains, none focus specifically on the Greater Yellowstone Area. This book draws from the existing scientific and popular literature, as well as the author's personal observations and studies over the past two decades, to provide detailed information on the many plants used by the Native Americans and early settlers of the area. Field keys help visitors identify individual plants. Habitat descriptions and notes on natural history and uses for each plant are provided. Written for a lay audience, this book is a useful guide to plant enthusiasts who visit the parks and wilderness areas of the Greater Yellowstone Area.
