(northeastern) Not everything in the book is native but it does rat out the immigrants. I wanted to know what some of the plants were that I chanced upon. Once I started I couldn't stop. Now I hunt wildflowers and shoot them myself. My first “native” plant book was the Peterson Field Guide to Wildflowers.

He covers plants of the Great Plains and the Gulf Coastal Plain. Texas Bluebonnets are in there, for example. But amongst all his many lists, he doesn't list plants by floristic zone, probably because so many plants grow in more than one zone. You have to read the plant descriptions to find out where a plant "belongs," or you could get a plant list from a local native plant society. Yes, he certainly does.
