Colour Identification Guide to the Grasses, Sedges, Rushes and Ferns of the British Isles and North Western Europe
Worth the money!July 4, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
For a long time I admired this book but was reluctant to spend 50 on it. I eventually decided I had to have it, was pleased to see it on Amazon for a bit less, and I am delighted with it. Once you have keyed something out eg. in Stace it provides beautifully clear and detailed drawings to check your ID. Or you can use the keys provided (I haven't done that much). Or you can look at the descriptions facing the plates, in which the key features are highlighted (similar format to the Wild Flower Key).

Probably the most user friendly book of its field(!?) Fantastic colour illustrations and detailed accounts of each species only let down by a somewhat difficult key. It may not be small enough to take out in the field but it includes vital information to make accurate identification - worth every penny.
