[pct-l] Botany on the PCT

[dicentra]

A couple more books you might want to check out...
 
Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast by Pojar and MacKinnon
Flora of the Pacific Northwest by Hitchock and Cronquist (this is the Wa/Or version of Jepson)
 
You should also take a look at the Washington Native Plant Society's plant lists:
http://www.wnps.org/plant_lists/exploring_native_plants.html
 
I'm sure Cali and OR will have something similar.
 
Don't eat anything you can't 100% identify!!!

>Hello! I've been recently taking an interest in plant identification and
I
was thinking it might be pretty cool to do some reading on PCT-related
botany before my thru-hike both as a way to supplement my diet with fresh
foods on occasion (if this proves not to be a complete pipe-dream) -- and
also purely for the joy of getting that much more out of the hike. Have any
of you done something similar? I'm trying to find some good reading
material
or info from past thru-'ers.
