This field guide covers the geographical range map that includes the upper mid-west states of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, extending into Ontario and part of New York state. There is a rich and diverse flora within this geographic range that encompasses areas known as the eastern hardwoods, mixed hardwood forests, conifer forests, and the open prairies or grasslands. Here, where the four flow together, flourish a tremendous variety of native plants joined by an array of "foreigners" from all over the world.

Beautifully photographed for accurate reference, the guide is arranged by plant families with an index of alphabetically listed plant names. Also included are plant family group charts, a pictorial glossary, and chart key. The book is printed on glossy coated paper stock for durability and small enough to easily slip into a hiking pack.
