Prairie Plants of the Midwest: Identification and Ecology Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a nice reference book for an experienced field guide user. It is small enough to carry into the field. Be aware however that it is not a "beginner's book"--it is difficult to use if you don't already have a good idea what your unknown plant is. Also, the drawings are coarser than what one could...

But there is lots to recommend here - not only...

But then you are going to feel like an idiot for not savoring the pleasure, and you're going to be bleary as hell the next day (if you finish it at 4 in the morning, like I did).This book deals...
