A field guide to wild plant identification

Organized around practical identification, the guide covers wild plants through their habitats and distribution, physical characteristics, and edible parts. The description also notes more than one hundred color photographs, intended to help distinguish edible plants from poisonous ones. Its subject sits at the intersection of botany and outdoor preparedness, with plant recognition framed as a key concern in wilderness and survival settings. Because reliable identification is central to the book’s purpose, it is best understood as a reference to consult alongside careful judgment in the field.
