A
Revised and Enlarged Edition of Norman C. Fassett's
A MANUAL OF AQUATIC PLANTS
Garrett
E. Crow and C. Barre Hellquist
VOLUME
I: PTERIDOPHYTES, GYMNOSPERMS, AND ANGIOSPERMS: DICOTYLEDONS
The
definitive reference
This
is by far the best and most comprehensive manual and illustrated
guide to native and naturalized vascular plants—ferns, conifers,
and flowering plants—growing in aquatic and wetland habitats
in northeastern North America, from Newfoundland west to Minnesota
and south to Virginia and Missouri. Published in two volumes,
this long-awaited work completely revises and greatly expands
Norman Fassett's 1940 classic A Manual
of Aquatic Plants, yet retains the features that made
Fassett's book so useful.
Features include:
- coverage of
1139 plant species, 1186 taxa, 295 genera, 109 families
- more than
600 pages of illustrations, and illustrations for more than 90%
of the taxa
- keys for each
species include references to corresponding illustrations
- habitat information,
geographical ranges, and synonomy
- a chapter
on nuisance aquatic weeds
- glossaries
of botanical and habitat terms
- a full index
for each volume
Wetland ecologists,
botanists, resource managers, public naturalists, and environmentalists
concerned with the preservation of wetland areas, which are increasingly
threatened, will welcome this clear, workable, and comprehensive
guide.
