The Botanical Field Guide offers, in symbol and keyword format, a substantial overview of the plant world. Plants express life. They sustain the environment and feed humans and animals alike. For the conscious observer the plant becomes more than the sum of its parts. The plant can be experienced as an unfolding event that moves through the seasons from seed to leaf to flower to fruit and back to seed again.

Make this comprehensive and robust Guide your companion wherever you live, city or country. Use it to look for and to check plant details; to classify, to reference, to compare and to remember keywords for later research. Very soon your eyes will become more discerning and your discoveries will be a richly satisfying source of inspiration.

Divided into sections: Flower anatomy; Fruit and seed, corolla types; Monocotyledons, dicotyledons, inflorescence types, vegetative spread; Stems and roots, grasses; Leaf arrangements, leaf surfaces; Leaf types and details. A very useful reference and learning tool, popular with students, gardeners and plant lovers
