Every wildflower of the northern states, keyed, named, and described: Asa Gray's manual is the botanist's bible. From the analytical key to the orders through the flowering plants class by class, it is the foundation of American field botany. Rigorous, thorough, and indispensable. The reference generations of naturalists carried into the field. Identify every plant of the northern woods with Gray's classic key.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
