This elegant and easy-to-use guide is an updated and amended revision of Lauren Brown's seminal Grasses: An Identification Guide, which was first published in 1979. While maintaining the spirit and goals of the original edition – a portable, straightforward, and user-friendly guide for naturalists and plant enthusiasts – the new edition features over one hundred grasses, sedges, and rushes found in the northeast of the USA that are presented with line drawings and colour photographs, concise descriptions, and details on the uses of various plants throughout history.

In addition, the authors are careful to highlight the subtle differences in similar species to avoid confusion, as well as offering relevant notes on plant survival strategies, invasiveness, and how different plants fit within the broader ecological landscape. Devoid of technical jargon, Grasses, Sedges, Rushes: An Identification Guide is an indispensable tool for those curious about the often-overlooked grasses, sedges, and rushes that surround us.

Lauren Brown is a botanist whose previous books include Grasses: An Identification Guide, Weeds in Winter, and Grasslands. Ted Elliman worked for many years for Native Plant Trust (formerly New England Wildflower Society) and is the author of Wildflowers of New England.
