Media reviews
Is David Allen Sibley's new work as useful, reliable and interesting as his book on birds? For me, a nonbotanist who has wandered through forests in much of the country, it is. This guidebook is filled with clear, concise descriptions and wonderful drawings of species ranging from sumac to saguaro.

Needs updating--some "naturalized" species have become quite invasive, and names and placement are ever changing. Still a good guide.
