In the spirit of the avid desert botanist Willis Linn Jepson, The Jepson Desert Manual provides botanical enthusiasts of all backgrounds with the first comprehensive field guide focused exclusively on native and naturalized vascular plants of California's southeastern deserts. Based on The Jepson Manual: Higher Plants of California, the Desert Manual incorporates new illustrations for more than two hundred desert taxa, revised keys to identification, updated distributional information, and 128 color photographs. This guide will allow easier identification of California's fascinating desert plants than would be possible in a manual with broader geographic coverage.

As in The Jepson Manual, detailed descriptions and illustrations of plant characteristics are provided, along with information on native versus alien status, habitats, elevation, endangerment, toxicity, weed status, horticultural requirements, and flowering times. Introductory sections on the desert setting and vegetation offer the reader a broad context and new perspectives for appreciating the more than twenty five hundred plant species included in the Manual. For amateur and professional botanists alike, the Desert Manual will prove to be an invaluable companion in California's spectacular Mojave Desert, Sonoran Desert, and southern Great Basin environments, including the White Mountains.

Worth the time and effort.
Perfect solution to my faded out, sun damaged gel coat. Follow the instructions to the letter for a factory-like shine. One bottle was barely enough for our 22' Winnebago, another bottle for our 29' Cabin Cruiser. Many compliments on the shine.

A quality product which will clean an oxidized fiberglass trailer in preparation for the application of Poli Glow
I used this to remove the Poli Glow previously applied about two years ago to my fiberglass trailer. It seems to do a slightly better job of removing the PG than the other Prep solution, but I didn't do a side-to-side comparison. And the surface never achieved a completely uniform appearance after the stripping, although this may not be possible because of differences in the remaining gel coat surfaces. I also completely washed the trailer with soap & water after using this stripping product. I didn't do this the previous time and thought some of the prep compound may have been left on the surface resulting in a shorter life. Time will tell. Note: it is still "work" to strip the trailer, this is not a "magic" solution, thus the 4-star rating. But it, along with the Poli Glow, was the only way to get my oxidized trailer to look shiny. All the other products tried failed to bring a glow. I will purchase it again when redoing the trailer.

Does not work.
Do not use this product. It has left my RV all splotchy. It looks terrible. I am trying to find something that will work. I wish I had never used Poly glow to start with.
