Fern Relatives in 3 families and 8 genera, including members of the Clubmoss, Quillwort and Spike-moss Families. Features - Introduction to fern terminology, structure and life-cycle
Illustrated keys to each family, genus and species
Key to ferns by habitat groups
Arranged alphabetically by family
Species fully described and illustrated with line drawings and b/w photographs to show the frond (leaf) and important reproductive parts such as the sorus and indusium, and other diagnostic details such as vascular bundles in the stipe (leaf stalk) and close-ups of the pinna (leaf divisions)
North American and Midwest region distribution maps for each species.

Organized into four major groups: Ferns and Fern Allies, Conifers, Dicots, Monocots, then alphabetically by family and genus
More than 900 species described
Illustrated with hundreds of line drawings
Conservation status (endangered or threatened) in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin
Wetland indicator status (2016 rankings)
Habitat information

Southwestern Trees is an easy-to-use, non-technical field guide to the trees found in Arizona and New Mexico, extending to the surrounding areas of southeastern California, southern Nevada, southern Utah, southern Colorado, western Texas, and northern Mexico. Included are descriptions, color photographs, and distribution maps for about 150 coniferous and broadleaf trees of the region, as well as the sometimes treelike species of agaves and yuccas, so characteristic of the desert flora. Also included are a number of species more commonly found as shrubs, but occasionally reaching tree-size in favorable environments.

"The first step in deciding how to solve a weed problem is to correctly identify the weed species. It is for this purpose that this guide has been prepared, and the intended users are research workers, weed specialists, agricultural extension agents, and others interested in weeds and their control. This book will help to identify some of the nation's more common and important weeds infesting lawns, gardens, crops, pastures, ponds, and other areas." Originally published in 1970, this new edition has been updated to reflect the many taxonomic changes in both family assignments and in genus and species names. The guide has been completely reformatted for easier use, with plants presented in alphabetical order by plant family. Detailed illustrations by preeminent botanical illustrator Regina Olson Hughes depict both the overall plant as well as its flowers, fruits, and seeds. County-level distribution maps have been added for each of the more than 200 species treated. Our hope is that The New Common Weeds of the United States will be a valuable reference for anyone wanting to learn more about our weed flora and for those working to preserve our native plants and their habitats.
Prairie Plants of Illinois is an easy-to-use guide for identifying over 100 of the most common grasses, wildflowers, and shrubs found on the prairies of Illinois and in the surrounding region. By using the simple set of keys, identifying an unknown prairie plant will be relatively straightforward. In addition, color photographs, line drawings, and an illustrated glossary supplement the text. Maps show the county distribution of each species both in Illinois and across the central United States.
Minnesota Flora: An Illustrated Guide to the Vascular Plants of Minnesota is the first modern, comprehensive guide to the vascular flora of Minnesota, including keys, descriptions, illustrations, and county distribution maps for over 1,900 plant species in 141 plant families and more than 700 genera. Includes:
Keys to Minnesota's vascular plant families, genera and species
Organized into four major groups: Ferns and Fern Relatives, Conifers, Dicots, Monocots
Over 1,900 species described, including a map of county distribution in Minnesota

Edible Wild Plants of Eastern North America, originally published in 1943, was a landmark book in terms of its thoroughness (covering nearly 1000 plant species, plus poisonous plants, mushrooms, seaweeds and lichens) and its detailed descriptions of each plant and their uses. This extensively revised new edition updates each plant's scientific name, adds distribution maps for many species, and includes all new illustrations. Also added are cautionary notes for plants once considered safe to eat but which are now considered dangerous if eaten or improperly prepared.
Contents
Extensive listings of plants by their uses such as edible greens, salads, soups, fruit, teas, jellies, and emergency food
Descriptions of nearly 1000 edible plants, with identifying features, habitats where found, distribution in the eastern United States (including many maps), seasons when available, and food uses.
Arranged into three main groups (Ferns and Fern Relatives, Conifers, and Seed Plants), and alphabetically by Plant Family
Poisonous plants and how to recognize them
Simple guide to poisonous and edible mushrooms, seaweeds and lichens
Bibliography of edible plant and plant identification resources
Glossary of botanical terms

About the Authors
Merritt Lyndon Fernald (1873-1950) was a legendary American botanist. Based at Harvard University, he published more than 850 scientific papers and wrote and edited the seventh and eighth editions of Gray's Manual of Botany, long the standard flora of the region. As evident in this book, he also had an deep interest in wild food plants, and made many experiments with plants to determine their edibility and how best to prepare them.
Alfred Charles Kinsey (1894-1956) was an American biologist and professor of entomology and zoology at Indiana University, but perhaps most remembered as the founder, in 1947, of the Institute for Sex Research at Indiana University, now known as the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction.
Steve Chadde (1955- )is a botanist and plant ecologist who developed a passion for the natural world at an early age. His grandparents, German immigrants to the United States, were avid gardeners, and provided him with many memories of picking fresh fruit and garden vegetables as part of healthy, delicious meals. Later, in addition to his education and professional work as a botanist, he continued to expand on his knowledge of plants and their many uses. He has published numerous books on plants, including his recent state floras for Minnesota (2013), Wisconsin (2013), and for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (2014). He is pleased to make this landmark work on edible plants once again available to a new generation.
