It is a useful guide for the entire Sonoran Desert and for Southern California, as over 50% of the species covered also occur in these regions.

Many species are illustrated with color photographs. Descriptions entail plant habit and height; stem, leaf, flower, and fruit morphology; range; elevation; pollination biology; ethnobotanical uses; and discriminating comparisons with close relatives. This book is intended for everyone from the interested novice to the professional botanist.
