Booktopia Comments: The most comprehensive book on the subject that you can ever imagine for such a low priced book. Absolutely packed with most detailed hand drawn pictures and maps on where each plant can be found. If you are planning an American trip and you are a botanist then this book is a must. Quite a large format book, just a bit bigger than an A4 format piece of paper and reasonably thick. It is quite heavy because the quality of the pages are glossy and thick. Fantastic value.

A stunning visual guide and detailed encyclopedic reference to more than 750 flowering plants of the Americas.

Illustrated with more than 1750 beautiful watercolours by expert artists, colour photographs and maps.

Each catalogue entry details the plant's size, shape, colour, height, leaf, habitat and distribution, with commentary on its unique features such as seed dispersal, fragrance or edibility.

A detailed introduction describes the life cycle of wild flowers, the different habitats found in the Americas, and how to identify the plants that thrive in them.

An authoritative survey of the floral diversity of the Americas written by award-winning botanical experts.

The perfect family flower and plant encyclopedia, easy to use for both field reference and home-based research.
