Wildflowers of the Atlantic Southeast is an encyclopedic treatise of wild plants and flowers of the southeastern coastal states of the USA (they include WV also). Due out 25th June 2019 from Timber Press, it's 512 (!!) pages, and will be available in ebook and flexibound formats.

The book has a good introduction chapter segueing into a basic discussion of local terrain and climate. These introductions (roughly 10% of the content) lead into instructions for using the book efficiently for field ID. The individual plant entries are arranged primarily by bloom color, with the entry notes further specifying growth habits, foliage, and other distinguishing features. These are indexed in the table of contents for ease of ID in the wild.

Each entry includes both Latin and common names, a full color picture in bloom along with a range-map, as well as a full description of habits, estimated blooming times, and growth patterns. There are hundreds and hundreds of included species. There is a cross referenced index, an extensive glossary, as well as a solid reference list including online resources for further learning (obviously weighted toward readers in the southeastern USA).

My only quibble with the book is that the early eARC which was provided for review purposes had some formatting errors which caused severe pixelation of the entry photos. I am certain that this will surely be corrected in the publication version of the ebook.

This would be a wonderful library selection, support (or main) text for a botany class, or as a really complete and comprehensive field guide for personal use.

Five stars.
