Synopsis
Exploring Rhus Glabra: A Detailed Look at a North American Shrub and Its Relatives
This scholarly work examines Rhus glabra, the type species of the genus in North America, and its many, varied neighbors. It discusses how geography, climate, and history shape how these shrubs look and where they grow. The author also traces early descriptions, naming, and the long debate over how many distinct species might exist under a single name.
The study blends field observation with historical references to map the plant’s wide, continent-spanning presence. It compares growth habits, leaf forms, and fruiting structures across several related species and varieties, especially those found from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific slope. It also notes areas where specimens are scarce or where the taxonomy remains unsettled.
- Learn how leaf shape, panicle structure, and fruit color help distinguish closely related Rhus plants.
- See how geography, climate, and local environments influence survival and variation.
- Discover the historical puzzle of Linnaeus’s aggregation and how modern taxonomists approach naming.
- Get a sense of the challenges in identifying eastern versus western Rhus forms, from Appalachia to the Rocky Mountains.
Ideal for readers with an interest in botany, plant taxonomy, and North American flora who want context for how a single plant species can connect to a larger plant family and a web of regional varieties.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes a genus of plants, the sumacs, in order to identify and describe distinct species within the previously assumed singular species Rhus glabra. The author uses herbarium material and historical records to piece together the true nature and diversity of Rhus glabra, which had until now been considered a single, highly variable species. The author's work has identified numerous distinct species, each with unique characteristics and geographic distributions, shedding light on the complexity and diversity of the natural world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334002328_0
