Wildflowers of Maine Islands: The Downeast and Acadia Coasts - Glen H. Mittelhauser (paperback)

The geomorphic characters of Downeast Maine produce a unique and diverse flora that differs from the surrounding area. Glen explains this phenomenon and provides beautiful photographs, descriptions, key characters, and habitat information for each of the wildflower species he has encountered while producing scores of plant inventories during hundreds of trips to Maine islands over several decades. This book is organized by easily identifiable leaf and flower characters. As you answer simple questions about the plant in question, you’ll find your way to a species determination. While this book is written about Downeast Maine, it is a great introduction to wildflowers of the general region. 392 pages.
