Reader reviews for Botany in a Day: The Patterns Method of Plant Identification

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.46 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
4.46 / 5 (1252 total reviews)

Readers describe this as a clear, well-organized primer that teaches plant identification by family, supported by strong illustrations and pattern-based keys. It’s widely valued as a reference that can change how you see plants, but the title is considered misleading: the content is dense, best tackled over time, and light on species-level detail. Reactions to the heavy emphasis on herbalism are mixed—engaging for some, unscientific or distracting for others. Several note regional limits toward North American, colder climates and mention occasional typos or outdated taxonomy. Despite caveats, it’s regarded as a highly useful starting point for amateur botanists.

From the publisher

Botany in a Day is now available in a full-color version. With more than 50,000 copies sold, this is a passport to identifying plants and their uses.
Looking for a faster, easier, and engaging way to identify plants? Related plants have similar characteristics, and they often have similar uses. Rather than learning new plants one-at-a-time, it is possible to learn them by the hundreds, based on plant family patterns.
Each family of related plants has unique patterns for identification. Learn to recognize these patterns, and discover them again and again in the plants you encounter. It is possible to instantly recognize a plant never before seen, and in many cases, to know its edible or medicinal properties on the spot-even before you have identified it down to the species!
Botany in a Day is changing the way people learn about plants. A one-day tutorial introduces eight of the world's most common plant families, applicable to more than 45,000 species of plants. Master these eight patterns and have the skills to recognize an astonishing number of plants on any continent. Add to your repertoire by keying out entirely unknown plants and learning additional family patterns.
Botany in a Day is principally written for North America, but used and adored by readers all over the world. It is used as a textbook in numerous universities, high schools, and herbal schools. This book is widely used in nature programs and promoted in national parks. Botany in a Day is your passport connection to nature and discovering the amazing world of plants!
