The \u003cem\u003eFlora \u003c\/em\u003erepresented the life work of botanist Jacob Peter Anderson who's aim was to produce a flora encompassing all known vascular plants in the state. Included are keys and descriptions for each family, genus and species; small line-drawings are provided for diagnostic features of many of the plants included in the book. Long out-of-print and now somewhat dated in terms of what is now known of the Alaskan flora and species taxonomy, \u003cem\u003eAnderson's Flora \u003c\/em\u003eremains, however, a valuable resource for the study of Alaska's diverse plant life. Also, there is no field guide-sized reference useful for researchers, students, and others studying plants in the field. As the original book did not provide keys and descriptions to the important willow (\u003cem\u003eSalix\u003c\/em\u003e) genus, an addendum is provided with summer and winter keys to the willow species known from the Alaska interior. Author J. P. Anderson (1874-1953) resided in Alaska from 1913-1940, before leaving for a position at Iowa State University where he continued his work of preparing his \u003cem\u003eFlora, \u003c\/em\u003eincluding a number of return visits to Alaska for additional field research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 560\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.14 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 20, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51792705126688,"sku":"9781951682101","price":37.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/fb393e38bc616ee410a03a5e976cf513.webp?v=1780706559","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/andersons-flora-of-alaska-and-adjacent-parts-of-canada-an-illustrated-descriptive-text-of-all-vascular-plants-known-to-occur-within-the-region-cover-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
