[Nancy Grant · Rating 5 out of 5]

a mini encyclopedia of the plants and animals in these habitats, with clear descriptions and useful drawings

[Jason · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great guide that not only identifies plant species found in eastern US wetlands, but goes into further depth about how they fit into the ecosystem, how people have used the plants, and more. It's not a guide you necessarily want to take into the field for identification purposes, as there are other field guides with better sketches, but you will learn more about the plants with this book.
