State Botanical Symbols

From the white pine of Maine's Northeastern forests, westward to the yellow hibiscus of Hawaii's Polynesian islands, our states's official botanical symbols are as uniquely diverse as the terrain and character of the fifty states themselves.

In this reference book, over two hundred state botanical symbols are presented with informative text that highlights their adoptive legislation and botanical and social history. Color-photo montages add visual interest to the pages.
