Sedges
One half of a two volume set that presents illustrations and descriptions of all of the known sedge plants located in Illinois. In addition to the descriptions, information is presented on habitat, range, and distribution of the plants. The black and white illustrations detail all parts of the plant from flowering parts to the root system. This new edition of the 1976 work adds six additional taxa of sedges and takes into account a number of nomenclatural changes and distributional records that have been added.

This Land
A comprehensive guide to the facilities and natural features in the 71 national forests of Alaska, Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington.
Cyperaceae
V.3 - Aquatic and standing water plants for the states of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Kentucky (excluding the biologically distinct Cumberland Mountain region of eastern Kentucky), from spearmint to wintergreen, from aster to waterwort. The volume identifies, describes, and organizes species in three groups, including truly aquatic plants, which spend their entire life with their vegetative parts either completely submerged or floating on the water's surface; emergents, which are usually rooted under water with their vegetative parts standing above the water's surface; and wetland plants, which live most or all of their lives out of water, but which can live at least three months in water. Mohlenbrock lists the taxa alphabetically, and within each taxon, he describes the species with the scientific names, common names, identification criteria, line drawings, geographical distribution, habitat description, and official U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetlands designation as described by the National Wetland Inventory Section in 1988"--NHBS Environment Bookstore.
Where Have All the Wildflowers Gone?
This book attempts to provide an account of each kind of plant that has been placed on the federal list of endangered and threatened species, as well as those that have gone through the listing process except for the final listing. In addition, nearly sixty plants in the United States that are rare and are being reviewed by the United States Fish and Wildlife service are described in this book. Following an initial chapter that discusses one of this nation's extinct plants and the efforts now being made to prevent further extinction, there are seven chapters based on geographical regions in this country that include the discussions of the endangered and threatened plants. Those plants which have already been listed by the federal government are given first in each chapter, followed by those currently under review.
Ferns
Perhaps no other group of plants attracts more interest among both professional and amateur botanists than ferns. As early as 1846, when one of the first lists of Illinois plants was published, sixteen species of ferns were already known in the state. The longtime interest of a great many people makes the distribution of ferns better known than that of any other group of plants in Illinois.
Sedges
For each of the 159 species of Carex in Illinois, there is a full illustration showing the habit of the plant and close-ups of various vegetative and reproductive structures that are crucial for the identification of the individual species. There is also a complete description of each species as well as a discussion of the nomenclature and habitats. Range maps show the county distribution of each species in Illinois. A detailed key is provided for identification of the species.
Guide to the Vascular Flora of Illinois
"Mohlenbrock's landmark Guide, so heralded at its initial appearance in 1975, has now been revised to include nearly a five percent increase in the number of taxa occurring uncultivated in the state of Illinois. Here are 3,204 taxa of ferns, gymnosperms, and flowering plants. Robert H. Mohlenbrock, editor of the Illustrated Flora of Illinois, of which ten volumes have been published to date, has been studying the Illinois flora for nearly 40 years. In this revised and enlarged Guide he presents all taxa known to be native in Illinois either at present or in the past and all non-native vascular plants that appear to be able to maintain themselves year after year without cultivation. He has personally verified the basis for including every taxon. Common names in general use are provided, as well as an indication of flowering time for flowering plants and spore-production time for ferns. He concludes with a habitat statement and a general comment on the distribution of each taxon throughout the state." --
Vascular Flora of Illinois
Vascular Flora of Illinois: A Field Guide, Fourth Edition, presents the most up-to-date nomenclature available, adding 29 new genera, 226 new species, and 28 new hybrids, and also notes where the status of taxa, as well as the nomenclature, has changed. Indexes for common names and for family and genus names are included.
Flowering Plants
A continuation of “The Illustrated Flora of Illinois” series, this volume features Illinois flowering plants. This series is designed to provide a working reference for the identification and classification of all the plant forms found in the state. This series is the first of its kind, as no other study of this sort has been undertaken in any other state, and as such, is an unparalleled contribution to its field. In his introduction to this volume, Mr. Mohlenbrock discusses some of the terms and procedures used in the identification and classification of the plants. He outlines the life histories and morphologies of some of the representative monocots, and also illustrates some of their...
