Inhaltsangabe:

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 familar cattail and wild rice to the more obscure bladderworts and milfoils.
Features include:
* 94 species accounts
* more than 120 illustrations
* botanical and common names
* illustrated details of distinguishing features
* notes on similar species, habitat, annual cycles
* notes on folklore and human uses of each plant
* notes on value of species in ecosystem
* identification as native or non-native species
* descriptions of origin and range
