A useful field guide, though as a hardcover, heavy book, it is a little less portable than many others.

Fantastic field guide for wildland plant identification. Very detailed and yet not so mired down in details that you get confused or lost trying to identify species. Was recommended to me by a professor and I haven't regretted the purchase.

Excellent guide for folks who dislike just drawings. Full color both up close and far away. Best thing about it is it lists folk uses, both Native and European-based.
