This manual is a new guide to the 383 native and naturalized species of trees, shrubs, and woody vines found in northern Florida and adjacent Georgia and Alabama.In this complete and authoritative work, Robert K. Godfrey provides identification keys, full descriptions, and line drawings that make it possible to identify all the woody flora in the area described. Casual observers of the lower coastal plain, which encompasses the region covered in this volume, may at first see a landscape dominated by pines. Closer observation, however, reveals a great diversity of plants--patterns of contrasting vegetation caused by the complex physical and biotic factors at work. In this richly vegetated area, a rise of only four feet in elevation can bring significant changes in community composition, changes comparable, perhaps, to those occurring on a four-thousand-foot mountainside.The descriptions in Godfrey's manual are useful not only for identification purposes but also for their help in enhancing the user's knowledge of the plants. Each description is followed by information on the habitat in which the species is known to occur, the species' general location within the area under study, and its overall geographic range. Whenever possible, vegetative characteristics have been used in the keys so that the book is useful beyond the sometimes brief flowering seasons of the species. The use of technical terminology has been minimized in the keys and descriptions, and a full glossary is provided.Based on thirty years of constant study and firsthand observation, Robert K. Godfrey's manual will become the definitive work on this area's notably diverse woody flora, from the common longleaf pine ("Pinus palustris") and Jackson-brier ("Smilax smallii") to locally rarer species such as the fragrant sumac ("Rhus aromatica"), Spanish bayonet ("Yucca gloriosa"), and ornamental Chinese tallow-tree ("Sapium sebiferum").
