Publisher Synopsis
Weeds of the South is quite honestly the best publication of its type that I have seen. It brings together a superb combination of information on plant history, preferred habitat, North American distribution, and identification characteristics that is par excellence. The quality of the photographs alone makes this book well worth owning, and the key has been specifically created for those plants in this publication, making it well-suited for anyone in the southeastern U.S. - David Shaw, President of the Weed Science Society of America Read more...
