Ozark Plants is a full-color field guide to over 500 plant species found in the Ozark Mountain region of southern Missouri, northern Arkansas, and the northeastern corner of Oklahoma. Illustrated with hundreds of color photographs, the book describes each plant followed by a discussion of the plant's distribution, habitat, and value for wildlife and livestock. A key is provided so that the reader may more easily identify unknown plant specimens. 
The Ozark region is a plateau and mountain area of more than 40,000 square miles at the western edge of the eastern deciduous forest, and host a rich assemblage of plant species. Overall, nearly 3,300 vascular plant species are known from the region, within approximately 1066 genera and 186 families. This diversity is due, in part, to a long presence uninterrupted by glaciation, varied site and soil conditions, and a midcontinental geographic position. This geographical location has resulted in many species with distributional centers outside of the Ozarks reaching their range limits here. For example, the range of certain plants from the southwestern United States extends to the Ozarks, typically in dry-soil environments such as the glades. On moist, north-facing slopes, plants from the northern and eastern United States may be found. Some typically southern species occur in special habitats, including many parts of the Boston Mountains.

Wisconsin Flora: Field Guide is a comprehensive manual for identifying essentially all of the vascular plants found growing in the wild in Wisconsin. Based on the author's Wisconsin Flora (2019), the Field Guide is a more portable, yet still complete, reference to the state's flora of more than 2,100 species. Arranged into four major groups (ferns and fern relatives, conifers, dicots, monocots), then alphabetically by family, the Field Guide offers students of the state's plant life a definitive, easy-to-use reference for learning more about Wisconsin's biological diversity. Included are keys, distribution maps, habitat information, and 137 plates featuring detailed line drawings of many species.

A Visitor's Guide to the Plants of Muir Woods National Monument provides an introduction to the trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and ferns found in this preserved redwood grove located just north of San Francisco. Arranged first by trees and shrubs, then flower color for wildflowers, and followed by ferns, the book will allow visitors to the Monument to identify the area's most representative plants. Written in a non-technical style, 77 plants are described and illustrated with color photographs, including the Monument's 13 species of ferns, a conspicuous feature of the preserve's undergrowth. A checklist of all vascular plant species, prepared by the National Park Service, is also included, as is a complete index to the scientific and common names used in the book.
