Woody Bog Plants: A Field Guide for New England and Adjacent Canada, describes and illustrates with color photos more than 50 of the most typical encountered trees and shrubs in the region's sphagnum moss-dominated environments. Each plant's characteristics, such as growth form, leaves, flowers, and fruit, are described, with additional information on each plant's usual flower and fruiting times. County-level and North American range maps provide insight into each plant's distribution. An easy-to-use key to the species is helpful in identifying unknown plant specimens. Plants are organized within plant families, grouping related species together helping readers learn important characteristics of each family. The guide includes a list of selected references, a botanical glossary, and an index of scientific and common names (including those used in French-speaking portions of Quebec).
