This volume is an exquisitely illustrated guide to 350 eastern woodland wildflowers and trees found on site at Sugarloaf Mountain, Maryland. The text describes each plant's flower, leaf, and growth habit, gives its ideal habitat and range, describes similar species that might be confused with the plant, and gives a herbal history where applicable. And because plants are organized by family and genus, the scholarly reader can build on his or her botanical knowledge. It includes a user-friendly key, an illustrated glossary of frequently used botanical terms, and contains nearly 400 elaborately and artistically detailed pen and ink drawings to make plant identification simple and fun.
