| Abstract/Contents: | "During the coming summer, the Southern Weed Science Society will publish a field manual "Forest Plants and Shrubs of the Southeast". The manual was written by J.H. Miller and K.V. Miller, and features the photography of Ted Bodner (Ted Bodner Photography, Auburn, AL). The book contains descriptions of 185 genera of forbs, grasses-grasslikes, shrubs, semiwoody plants and woody vines, ferns, palms, cactus, and ground lichens, detailing 334 species. Commonly occurring genera and species are the focus, with extra attention to those important for wildlife and exotic invasive species. Genus and Species descriptions contain characteristics of growth form, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, range, and ecology. For each genus a section describes their important wildlife attributes. There are 630 images to illustrate identifying features. The photographs are on facing pages to the descriptions throughout, not in a separate section. The planning and layout have been assisted by the Society's Forest Plant ID Guide Subcommittee members over the past four years. The photography was funded by grants from the Society, American Cyanamid, Dow, DuPont and Monsanto. Critical botanical reviews and guidance have been provided by Alvin Diamond (Troy State University), David Bourgeois (Westvaco), Harold Grelen (retired US Forest Service), and for selected sections by Suzanne Oberholster (formerly US Forest Service). Initial botanical guidance and plant identifications were by the late John Freeman (Auburn University). Overall reviews of descriptions have been contributed by John Everest (Auburn University) and Timothy Harrington (University of Georgia), and selected sections by Fred Fallis (Weyerhaeuser) and Jim McIlwain (retired US Forest Service)." |
