Over 370 of the most common species are accurately described in this handy volume: varieties of timothy, rye, foxtail, fescue, bluegrass, nutrush, cottongrass, bulrush, etc. Knobel's emphasis is upon wild varieties of these plants common to the eastern and central United States, but many cultivated strains and food grains such as rice, oats, and maize are also included. A general key on the first page of this book allows you to fit each plant into one of several basic structural categories. Further subdivisions, classified according to the structure of the ear and spikelet (the flowering part of the plant) identify the particular species. Each plant is then described according to common name, Latin name, height, color of flower and stem, texture, smell (if applicable), habitat, and even edibility. Close resemblances to other varieties are also noted, which helps to make identifications even easier. Each description is also accompanied by a drawing of an entire plant, and a second drawing of the actual spikelet (with scale of the drawing noted). The author includes a total of 28 plates and over 600 line drawings. This new Dover edition has been completely revised, with common and scientific nomenclature updated, by Mildred E. Faust, Professor of Botany, Emeritus, Syracuse University. Review: Really good - This book has a lot of information concerning your most common grasses, sedges, and rushes. I used this for a research project and I learned a lot. Review: Field guide, Grasses, Sedges, Rushes, - I can easily recognize through the superb drawings grasses, sedges, and rushes that I've seen in the field. I only wish my Latin was better as I am more or less a common name guy. Still a great field guide which is enjoyable to flip through and brush up on your grasses, sedges, and rushes. ## Features - Field Guide, Grasses, Wildflowers, Sedges, Rushes, Flora ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #337,779 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #497 in Outdoors & Nature Reference #541 in Zoology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 138 Reviews | ## Images ![Field Guide to the Grasses, Sedges, and Rushes of the United States - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ftB+zfEFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good *by C***A on September 7, 2013* This book has a lot of information concerning your most common grasses, sedges, and rushes.
