5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for botanists LIKE ME!
I am NOT a botanist by profession but have a strong interest in plants and have worked as a naturalist in a number of National Park Service areas, including Yosemite (YOSE) and Chiricahua Nat'l. Mon., and I do a lot of photography of plants. Being able to ID them in the field using a guide or flora is often necessary for accurate notes. My vocabulary has always been "shaky." I was first introduced to an earlier printing of this book by a fellow naturalist at YOSE, Marilyn H. (I'm forever thankful to her for that!), and it made using "Munz" (the most modern of the CA floras then) easier as the vocabulary in "Munz" was very complete, sometimes painfully so. (I said I was NOT a pro!) It was much easier to use it with "Munz" than by continually going to the back of "Munz" to look up the glossary. Harrington's neat book was not only useful but also easily carried in a day pack or camera bag.What I've just said about that earlier printing is just as valid for this one! The size is slightly different but it still easily fits into both day pack and camera bag. The book is simply a reprinting of the original but now it is readily AVAILABLE again. Some might consider the illustrations simplistic BUT, once reading the definition of a word, you can see the the feature defined is OBVIOUS... that is what I want! Tell me and show me... YES!!!You can tell how much I go to my old copy by how many pages are loose from the binding... hey, I've had it since 1973 and it is an oft-used paperback! In the past, whenever I've seen it in a used bookstore I've bought a copy or two to be given away to friends whose botanical vocabulary needs tweaking, like mine. I love this book, used it very often, and am thrilled that Ohio Univ. Press has reprinted it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
5.0 out of 5 stars Step-by-step instructions in identifying plants
The drawings and area maps were most helpful. And I learned a lot of terminology. I would recommend this book for beginners and advanced botany-curious folk: a Master Gardener course in one text!
5.0 out of 5 stars How to Identify Plants
This is a book written for college-level field courses (as well as the independent naturalist). First published in 1957, this is the 1985 edition, so some of it may be out-dated. However, this book contains excellent information about what questions to ask when examining plants and how to use keys. Lots and lots of vocabulary terms are defined, and both common and scientific names of plants are given. I recommend it.
5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for beginners!
This book does a great job of defining terminology which makes using a plant key for identification much easier!
4.0 out of 5 stars Wrong book
It was not what I was looking for. I wanted a book that had pictures, scientific names, how to take care of, sun or shade info, propagation methods etc.The author gave a much more look at the how a flower is constructed

Thank you
5.0 out of 5 stars New Pleasing Font
I have the original version. The new updated font is more pleasing to look at. The old version looks like an old type written essay.
5.0 out of 5 stars A+
This is a great educational book. It is clearly written, with many pictures which will help me figure out plant species for the rest of my inquisitive life.
Great book!
This book looks great! Shipping was good. Needed for a horticulture class.
