A Manual for Plant Identification and Classification

Fully illustrated, covering 49 of the major vascular plant families, with an illustrated glossary including over 200 figures, this lab manual is intended for use in plant taxonomy courses, for plant identification workshops, and by amateur botanists.

Spiral-bound and designed to serve as a packable and practical field reference, this manual includes worksheets for learning botanical terminology, key characters and worksheets for every family covered, and a guided exercise in drawing as a strategy for learning plant morphology. For especially complex and diverse families (e.g., Asteraceae, Fabaceae), additional figures and worksheets have been incorporated, and several blank pages are included in the back of the book for student notes.
