Synopsis:

Lawrence Newcomb's system of identification on wild flowers is based on natural structural features that are easily visible to the untrained eye and enables amateurs and experts to identify almost any wildflower quickly and accurately.

Review: "I have tried Newcomb's key on flowers I know, and have been delighted by the ease with which they can be identified. The illustrations seem clear, precise, and definitive. This very salutary combination should make this guide a boon to amateur as well as the professional botanist..."--Eliot Porter

"Anyone who likes wildflowers and is planning a vacation trip to the North Central or Northeastern states will do well to take along this new guide."--Dallas Morning News

"Will be most useful for the identification of wild plants by amateurs and plant lovers. It is certainly an innovative guide for field trips...--S. Dillon Ripley, Smithsonian Institution
