About This Item
Edmonton: NeWest Press 978-1-987126-22-6 [978-1-987126-22-6] 2007. (Trade paperback) 263pp. Very good plus. Photographs, illustrations, bibliography, index, musical notation. "Salal is a unique book about a commonplace plant. Part travel narrative, part literary memoir, part 'ethnography' of a plant that usually goes unnoticed, Laurie Ricou traces the poetry and culture of salal while letting readers in on its secrets. Salal's high-gloss leaves and delicate salmon-white flowers are compelling, and as a staple of the floral greens industry, its impact is global". Book about Salal--Plant. Locale:. (Travel, Ethnography, Memoir, Natural History, Plants, Travel and Adventure).
