The eminently sensible organization relies on first-impression visible characteristics rather than the elaborate keys of some older texts--a format well suited to beginning wildflower enthusiasts.
If, for instance, you wanted to identify a long-stemmed, tubular red flower that you found in a grove of loblolly pines, you would first turn to the color plates, find the section devoted to red flowers, find a likely match from the 30-odd choices, and then turn to the text to see that the flower's habitat and range made a good fit, ruling out those species that do not.
After a few minutes' looking, you'll have identified a trumpet honeysuckle.
Well written and richly illustrated, this peerless guide makes the ideal companion for an expedition to eastern wood or prairie.
