the Looking Glass
A Field Guide to Aquatic Plants
This delightful, large-format field guide to aquatic plants in
North America is accessible and inviting to general readers, yet
detailed enough for use by botanists and natural resource managers.
Covering freshwater plants and some found in brackish waters, the
book is organized into sections on emergent plants, free-floating
plants, floating-leaf plants, and submersed plants. Charming habitat
drawings introduce each section. The fine pen and ink drawings for
each species showing the entire plant are supplemented, where helpful,
with detailed drawings of leaves, stem cross-sections, seeds, flowers,
and other distinguishing features. Nature lovers, waterfront property
owners, teachers and students, and water resource specialists will
enjoy this closer look at aquatic plants, from the familiar cattail
and wild rice to the more obscure bladderworts and milfoils.
