“The hefty green tome offers a complete guide for identifying
upward of 3,500 native and naturalized plant species currently
growing roots in six Northeastern states (Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont)....it’s a
pleasure just to page through the illustrations: black-and-white
drawings that look a bit like extraterrestrial
creepy-crawlies.”—Aaron Leitko, Washington Post
*Washington Post*
"Based on almost ten years of empirical field research by Haines
(Ancestral Plants), this guide represents a comprehensive update to
and revision of significantly outdated and inaccurate subject
research. . . . Stunning, margin-bound scientific drawings by
Farnsworth and Morrison beautifully clarify the written
descriptions. . . . Recommended for botanists and extremely
knowledgeable enthusiasts."—Library Journal
