Field and Woodland Plants
William S. Furneaux and Patten Wilson
Learn to name the plants of field and wood, from root to ripened seed. Furneaux explains their parts, the root, stem, leaf, flower, and fruit, then teaches the identification and classification of the flowering plants around you. A practical guide for the walking botanist. Head into the countryside and know what grows there.
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.
