Designed for use by both botanist and layman, this is a heavily illustrated, botanically and taxonomically detailed treatment of every species, variety, and major hybrid form of cactus growing as a native or naturalized plant in California. Although the arrangement of the book is scientifically formal, technical terms are kept to a minimum. Keys are provided for determining the scientific or popular name of any cactus occurring in the state, and each is described in some detail, including some discussion of ecology and physiology, and other matters beyond plant form and identification. Almost all the species are illustrated by photos, line drawings, or both. Distributional maps indicate the areas in which the species and varieties are known definitely to occur.
