Medicinal Plants: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Widespread Species

Nice guide made of a sturdy material (plastic coated). It has many common wild medicinals on it that I will be using it for this summer when I go foraging. It is very easy to tuck in to a bag, and takes no space at all. It is easy to read (although I need my reading glasses), it has 78 different plants identified with their approximate size, habitat found, and medicinal use. It even tells you the different types of leaf shapes and patterns. It also guides you through performing an “edibility” test. Very worth its value.

This pocket guide for medicinal plants is super practical. It is organized well and folds up neatly to fit in a pack or your pocket. It is laminated making it really helpful for use in the field. It will easily shed rain or wash dirt and debris off if it gets dirty. I have recommended this pocket guide to several people so far and the others that are in this series. I have three different guides that stay together in my pack.

Very helpful with colored photos include. Easy to read and understand with user friendly information.

Keep in mind that this is a foldout pamphlet. That being said, the information is limited as to the amount of plants and the quality of the drawings. This is not meant to replace a guide book, rather, it is a cheat sheet for in the field. Buy a good book for home, read it, study it, but leave it at home and carry this pamphlet. The waterproof coating is a nice touch. I keep this one and all the others in my EDC bag. They don't take up much room, but are very handy to have in the field.

Small waterproof very well written and enough detail.
