Robert Vines Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines of the Southwest Classic Back in Print

Blackburn Press would like to announce the reprinting of a classic in
botany.

 

Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines of the Southwest by Robert A. Vines with
Drawings by Sarah Kahlden Arendale (ISBN 1-932846-00-X)

 

Originally printed in 1960, 25 years of labor went into Trees, Shrubs, and
Woody Vines of the Southwest by the late Robert A. Vines, which describes
and illustrates more than 1,200 species of native and naturalized woody
plants of the southwestern United States.  The book covers Texas, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana.  The author traveled more than
250,000 miles by car, on foot, and horseback.  The species described are
grouped into 102 chapters, each chapter representing a different plant
family. Accompanying the text are more than 1,200 black-and-white drawings
by Sarah Kahlden Arendale.  

 

"This monumental work, describing 1231 species of woody plants, with 1240
illustrations, is an incredible achievement in the history of natural
science publishing. It is an immense production, indispensable to
naturalists of the region."  American Forests
