The most complete manual for northeast US

If you know your plant terminology, and want to learn about the plants of the northeast US, this is the book to have. Unless you want to spend big bucks on your plant guides, however, you will have to trust your descriptive abilities, since there are no pictures (the illustrated companion is about $125). A very complete guide that can be applied across the area.

the definitive reference

this book is not for the novice trying to identify the tree is his or her backyard. It is the most complete, thorough, up to date, and expansive identification manual for vascular plants for the eastern side of north America: A large, heavy textbook with no pictures, full of complex scientific descriptions and nomenclature in dichotomous key format. If you don't know what that means, you most likely will not find this book user friendly. That being said, it is a wonderful book, providing answers where other high end, professional botanist volumes leave ambiguity or contradiction. Excellent, clear, easy to use. A must have for anyone seriously studying plants in this region from the undergraduate to the post graduate level.
