"The Sunflower Family of
British Columbia" isn't a bunch of soccer moms from Vancouver, but a
three-volume work on flowering plants from this particular Canadian province.
The sunflower family includes many of our most beloved or most hated flowering plants: dandelions, daisies, asters, thistles... Some of these plants are endemic to British Columbia, such as the Olympic Mountain Aster, which only grows on Vancouver Island and the nearby Olympic Peninsula (on the U.S. side of the border). Others can be found pretty much everywhere. I mean, dandelions and thistles, please come on!
This is the second volume of "The Sunflower family of BC", covering the following groups: Astereae, Anthemideae, Eupatorieae, Iuleae.
These books only contains black-and-white line drawings, but could probably be used as identification guides (and not simply as pure reference works).
