Kurzbeschreibung
Forty percent or more of Indiana's wildflowers will not be found in any of the available field guides. "Field Guide to Indiana Wildflowers" magnificently fills that gap. The book includes all of the herbaceous species - a total of 1,568 - recorded in Indiana (except grasses, sedges, and rushes). It contains 640 color photographs, one for every group of visually similar species. The photographs representing more than one species are accompanied by text and numerous drawings of the characters that separate each of the individual species. Each species entry includes the scientific name, the common name, habitats, general distribution in the state, months of blooming, size of the plants and the flowers or inflorescence, and a brief additional description of the plant.If there is a photograph or drawing of the species, it is always placed with the species entry. Species that are introduced to the state or are on Indiana's Endangered, Threatened, and Rare List are marked with a one-word notation about their status. Species are grouped into families, which are arranged so that the most closely related and usually visually similar families are near each other. A 'Flower Finder' section at the front of the book with sections based on the number of coloured parts of the flower and drawings as visual guides helps the user find the appropriate location in the book for unknown wildflowers. With an emphasis on completeness, strong visual presentation, and simplicity of terminology, this book will be useful to a broad audience - from the most inexperienced amateur to professionals in many fields.

A much needed field guide to Indiana wildflowers
9. Dezember 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
This field guide to Indiana wildflowers should be a valuable reference for both the professional and amateur botanist. The species descriptions given are adequate to distinguish similar species in most cases. The ranges given for several species appear to be inaccurate.

A must have for those of us in Indiana who want to save the flora!
13. Juni 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is an excellent source of native information. I combined it with several other books I have, along with additional photos of plants I am particularly interested in which I downloaded from Yahoo images. The only draw back to the book is that I needed more pictures to help identify the plants but as you can see, it was easily fixed!

OK book for information.
25. April 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
This is NOT the book for identification of an unknown plant/flower. It's more for confirmation. It's system is very complex. One must already have a good idea as to what the flower/plant is in order to use this book. I recommend buying another field guide for identification purposes.
