Fantastic reference. I bring it camping and consult it whenever I want to type out a plant. Love it.

my least favorite of the peterson guides that i've used.
great illustrations and descriptions but the plants are arranged based on the color of the flower, which makes identification rather difficult outside the blooming season if you don't know at least the family the plant belongs to.

I love all the Peterson Field Guides. Maybe just all Field Guides, basically.
