Field Guide to Wisconsin Grasses

“A needed resource for Wisconsin, with up-to-date nomenclature and classification, a comprehensive roster of the state’s grass species, new keys, and expanded species descriptions.”―Andrew Hipp, author of Field Guide to Wisconsin Sedges

“The first chapter on morphology is a first-rate primer on the terminology of grasses. . . . The pages are adorned with excellent color photographs with everything cleanly labeled. . . . The keys to genera work. . . . The glossary is a model of clarity.”—Plant Science Bulletin

“An excellent resource. . . . Many of the species can be found in adjacent states and provinces, and thus this guide will have appeal to a wider audience beyond Wisconsinites.”—The Prairie Naturalist

“Detailed, carefully labeled drawings and photos make understanding grass structure, ecology, and morphology easy. An illustrated key to certain genera and the rest of the keys provide a simple and logical beginning. . . . Photos, drawings, and distribution maps complement species descriptions. . . . This is a model field guide to grasses.”—Choice

• “[A] superior resource. . . . There are a number of features that set this book apart as a field guide. The first is a quick survey of the main types of grass flowers. . . . Another welcome feature . . . is a compilation of lists of grass species commonly encountered in varying habitats, as well as lists of species distinguished by unusual morphological characteristics. . . . The illustrations are wonderful. . . . I expect this book will quickly become the standard field manual for grass identification, not only in Wisconsin but for adjacent states and provinces.”—Ecological Restoration
