Here is the most inclusive field guide available to the wildflowers in the northeastern United States. Designed for easy use, the book features two-page spreads with descriptive text and range maps on one side facing pages of color photos on the other. The descriptions are concise, but thorough, and the range maps show both where the plant grows and what time of year it is likely to be in bloom. Plants are grouped by flower color, usually the feature first noticed by the observer. The species are subsequently grouped by petal arrangement, type of leaves, and number of flower parts as indicated in the "quick characters" box at the top of each page.

The rich and varied habitat of Pakistan is home to an estimated 4,940 plant species. Though there has been some effort to catalogue the fascinating flora of this region, information published so far has been in a highly condensed and technical format. This book is the first book of its kind to present an account of over 650 selected flowering plants of Pakistan to the reader in an understandable and interesting format. Each plant is illustrated with a photograph, accompanied by a brief descriptive account, indicating its relationship within the plant kingdom and its occurrence throughout the world. An important feature of the book is a key that enables the non-specialist to identify the plants. Indices of scientific, English and local names, plus a glossary of botanical terms, have been included to aid botanists and naturalists in their work.
