Also Hawaii is not included in the states list below, statehood was granted on August 21, 1959, 8 years after the publishing of American Woods.

Often it is also used when the author doesn't know the specific species but knows that it is in a certain genus; i.e., there are many plants in the genus Salvia, and they can all be lumped together in Salvia spp. (a) Officially designated by legislative action.

I was perusing the classifieds on WOOD, and they are selling 13 figured maple trees. I was curious, how do you know if there is figure in a tree until you mill it out? Of course there are some obvious signs, like a big ol burl hanging off the side or some crotch. But how does the guy know if there is some birds-eye o tiger in there? More of a curios question then a criticism of the seller of said trees.
