Handbook of the Trees of New England

A compact field handbook that catalogs the trees growing in New England, presenting diagnostic keys, family-by-family descriptions of conifers and broadleaves, species accounts with habitat and geographic range across the United States and Canada, and detailed morphological notes on leaves, buds, bark, flowers, and cones. Plates from original drawings illustrate key species; botanical authorities, abbreviations, glossary, and index support identification and study. The volume emphasizes regional variation at range limits, practical identification in the field, and notes on growth habit and distribution, organized with technical descriptions followed by an appendix of supplementary material for students and naturalists.
