Hi.

Do you know of any good book to help me identify the trees I might
encounter in the mountains of Kumaon, in warm-temperate, cold-temperate,
and subalpine forests? I don't know much about trees, so I'm looking for
something that explains various identifying characteristics and so on. I
don't know how to differentiate between Cedar and Pine, for example.

I know I can post photographs to indiantreepix, but (a) I won't have
access to the net when I'm in the field, and (b) I'd like to learn.

Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.

I think Flora Nainitalensis (R K Gupta), Flora of Mussurie (Raizada & Saxena) together with Floroa Simlensis (Collet) and Flowers of Himalayas (Pollunin and Stanton should serve the purpose. They deal with gymnosperms as well as all angiosperms, trees included.
