Trade ReviewThe new
Field Manual of Michigan Flora summarizes much information about all the species of vascular plant in Michigan and provides dichotomous keys to help readers identify unknown plants. Th guide updates and improves on Voss's three-volume
Michigan Flora (1972-96). Highly recommended." — A. Prather,
Choice"Systematic botanists, as well as any serious student of plant biodiversity, will celebrate the completion of the Field Manual of Michigan Flora. Its species treatments and maps reflect the addition (since 1972) of 44,000 specimens to the herbarium database and a thorough review of a rapidly changing taxonomic literature. My long quest for the ideal field guide has finally ended." — Paul E. Rothrock, Taylor University
"A valuable addition to the flora of not only Michigan but also of the entire western Great Lakes region. Thoroughly updated, modernized, and comprehensive, this is a spectacularly achieved effort that will be useful to those in the fields of botany, taxonomy, and ecology." — Michael A. Vincent, Curator, W. S. Turrell Herbarium, Miami University
