(This booklet is specifically designed as a guide to the mountain flowers of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah, with the great majority of species described for these four states. For the purposes of this book, the author considers mountains to start at an elevation of about 7,000 feet, called the Transition Life Zone. This booklet is the last of a triad written, with this being a great way to introduce you to some of the more common and beautiful plants of the Southwest mountains, and it should prove a helpful companion on any trips. Every effort was made to keep the written botanical description to a minimum, with the excellent drawings being a very important part of the book and will be of the greatest help in identification.)
