Description
Armed with this new guide, which carries the official endorsement of The Garden Club of America, an amateur wildflower sleuth can quickly and accurately identify even the most enigmatic floral suspect. Lawrence Newcomb's ingenious system of identification is based on natural structural features that are easily visible to the untrained eye. Everytime you see an unknown plant, you ask the same five questions (related to the type of plant and the structure of its petals and leaves), and through process of elimination are directed to the text page on which your plant is found. On the facing page, a beautiful color or black-and-white illustration confirms your identification. Newcomb's Wildflower Guide covers more plants than other guides, has more color illustrations, a more complete glossary, and--most important--a more accurate identification system, easily mastered by nonbotanists--back cover.
