Abstract

The article reviews "Ferns, spikemosses, clubmosses, and quillworts of Eastern North America," a field guide by Dr. Emily Sessa that provides a comprehensive resource for identifying ferns and lycophytes across a broad geographic range in Eastern North America. The guide includes detailed descriptions of 61 lycophyte and 244 fern species, along with identification keys, illustrations, and essays on relevant botanical topics. While the guide is user-friendly and visually informative, the reviewer notes that the alphabetical arrangement of genera could be improved by organizing them phylogenetically. Overall, the guide is praised as an exceptional contribution to botanical literature, particularly for advanced amateurs and professionals. [Extracted from the article]
