About This Item
Ames, IA: Iowa State University Press, 1980 Iowa State University Press, Ames, IA. 1980. Softcover/Trade Wraps. Stated 1st Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Very Good; light rubbing and edgewear; slight bowing to textblock from storage. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps.

The purpose of this book is to provide an identification tool for those with a limited background in botany. The keys are centered around flower color and gross morphological characters, allowing the reader to narrow the choices, with a comparison of color photographs to make the final choice. Each species in this book has a color photograph, distribution map, plant description, flowering date, and medicinal or edible properties. A clean very presentable copy.
