Customer Reviews

Pretty good Illinois plant identification book.

The Guide to the Vascular Flora of Illinois is helpful in identifying most unknown plants to genus and species. Although, a botanical dictionary is a must to understand a majority of the terms. I find this book greatly helpful for any college student interested in botany. This is a wonderful book, but it definitely needs to be updated because new species of plants have been found since it was first published. Currently is the ultimate Illinois plant identification book until a new one comes along to take its place.
