A Beachcomber's Botany is a guide to the plants that grow along the shores of Cape Cod. Most of the flora included can also be found in seaside areas from New Jersey to Cape Breton, and thus the text and illustrations of this book apply to all of the New England Coast.
70 pages of pencil sketches by Marcia G. Norman, each worthy of framing, each with a short description of the plant from Loren C Petry, Professor of Botany, Emeritus, at Cornell University, preceeded by several essays on the plant life that are a beauty to read.
