Quick! But accurate?,
By
This review is from: Field Guide to the Grasses, Sedges, and Rushes of the Northern United States (Paperback)
This book travels well and with the index dog-eared makes for quick and dirty referencing (espeically of Fam Graminae).But I found a few of the plates, although well illustrated, confusing (i.e. determining the key number associated with the image of a particular flowering head). If you are looking for a thorough reference for Genus Carex don't look here.

An Excellent Field Resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: Field Guide to the Grasses, Sedges, and Rushes of the Northern United States (Paperback)
For a small, compact field guide it holds a wealth of information including a dichotomous like key for easy identification. Common names as well as scientific names are provided with good illustrations. For anyone serious about field work or just someone interested in plants this book is a good resource.

Limited and Incomplete,
By J. Petty - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Field Guide to the Grasses, Sedges, and Rushes of the Northern United States (Paperback)
I am a professional ecologist and spend at least 100 days a year in the field characterizing vegetation communities and plant species. It is difficult to tell which part of the country this book would be best suited for, as it would be considered incomplete in the areas I have used it in (Northern and Southern Rockies, Black Hills, Intermountain West and Northern Great Plains). I found it's treatment of rushes especially wanting. This book has made it to the field with me only a few times and was seldom used then. The most redeeming quality of this book is it's size, which can easily fit into a back pocket, but when it's taken out you will probably not be able to key the more difficult and uncommon graminiods found in the U.S.
