Two plant species are identified by common and botanical names anddescribed on each text page according to the outline: plant family,habit, habitat, where native, leaf, flower, fruit, and specialfeatures. Each description concludes with notes of special interest. Thedescriptions, though written with a minimum of technical language, aredetailed enough to determine whether an unknown plant is the onedescribed. For look-alikes, the text commonly suggests one or severalother plants to check, and highlights the differences among them. Indexto Common Names (more than 500 entries), Index to Synonyms, and Index toRelationships by Plant Family.
