Scientific descriptions of 862 plant species are presented here, including wildflowers, ferns, grasses, sedges, rushes, trees, and shrubs. This comprehensive guide to one of Maine's most beautiful natural treasures also has useful keys, an illustrated plant-family section, informative introductory sections, a listing of historical records, an extensive index of scientific and common names, and more than 2,200 full-color photographs.
Would make a fine reference for your library, but could also serve as a field guide, despite its heft.
Published by the University of Maine in association with the Garden Club of Mount Desert Island, the Friends of Acadia, and the Maine Natural History Observatory.
