Infos

Sedges: Carex is the fourteenth vol-ume of the Illustrated Flora of Illinois series and the sixth and last volume devoted to monocots-plants that have a single seed leaf, or coty-ledon, upon germination. Since the volume's original publica-tion in 1999, thirty-four additional species of plants have been recog-nized in Illinois. Some are discover-ies from recent field work, some are from more thorough searches of herbaria, and others are from differ-ent taxonomic philosophies. For each species of Carex in Illinois, there is a full illustration showing the habit of the plant and close-ups of various vegetative and reproduc-tive structures that are crucial for the identification of the individual species. There is also a complete description of each species as well as a detailed discussion of the no-menclature and habitats. Range maps show the county distribution of each species in Illinois. A new and detailed key is provided for identification of the species.
