HEre Is a wild flower guide as technically accurate as a scientific textbook, yet simple and easy to follow.

Neatly blending text and illustrations, the WILD FLOWEr GuIDe makes it easy for you to locate all the information about any wild flower you find, then gives you its common name, scientific name, its range, habitat, and suggestions as to how the plant can be cultivated.

Plants are discussed with emphasis on their floral symmetry and the evolutional history of the flower. They are first grouped according to family, and the characteristics of the individual species are then summar-ized.

There is an appendix which classifies the flowers according to color, and one which deals with wild flowers introduced from other countries. And there is a helpful glossary of all scientific terms used in the text.
