Grasses, Sedges, Rushes: An Identification Guide

The book is a fine reference for North American flora. Unfortunately, the seller’s description failed to point this out, and therefore inappropriate for a UK survey. Otherwise 5 stars

Very informative and good illustration. Has cultural blurbs for graminoids that colonized the northeast Americas. I use it when i question plants on a trail or park.

I have been looking for a book like this for ages. Love the fact that there is info on the plants, drawings and most of all good pictures for identifying the plants. Love the flexible cover too.

4/5 because I was really excited to buy this and when I wasn't seeing several very common sedges/rushes I got to looking and saw the map in the beginning near the introduction. I wish that would have been part of the cover or details or that I had looked through that excerpt provided. Who wouldn't want to just buy this right off the press though?! It's informative and has good drawings but I'll have to find another field guide to pair it with.

This is a beautiful revision of Brown's original Grasses book. The addition of the color photos of the plants in their habitats is tremendously helpful alongside Brown's exquisite line drawings. Convenient trim size makes it easy to use in the field. Well worth the expense!

I own 8 grass, sedge & rush books for the northeast U.S. This is the easiest and quickest book to use for specy identification. It saves me a lot of time.
