Flora of the Pacific Northwest
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Until this manual is updated, it is the most authoritative and complete book for the identification of the flora or the northwest. The keys are excellent and if you do not mind learning nomenclature that is decades behind, the determination of which plant it is will be effected. The binding is good and having used it many times on my tours the the west, the book has held up very well (much better than binding of current publications).
Wonderful flora

This is a wonderful easy to use flora. It has very well done line drawing for all the plants and easy to use keys. Very good.
This is for the serious botanist

Contains excellent illustrations. The terminology and abbreviations may be confusing to some. Needs to be updated as some of the family nomenclature has been changed. I wouldn't recommend this for the average "what's this plant" person.

EXCELLENT first-book to reach for when needing proper scientific terminology. Does include some common names in the descriptions. Extremely detailed and uses extensive abbreviations. I used this book in Univ. of Idaho botany classes in the 1980's and still use it in my daily job now (year 2000). However, it does indeed need to be updated for current terminology and names, including lower-case spellings.
