I expected more description, pictures, and accessibility for native plants of Iowa.This book is approximately 20 pages of post-glacial natural history, then 280 pages of binomial nomenclature and common names. There are 13 pictures in the book, and all of them are landscapes. Unless you plan to digitize & create a database, be forewarned about this book's content. My particular copy of this book was pilfered from Purdue University.
