Some are discover­ies from recent field work, some are from more thorough searches of herbaria, and others are from differ­ent taxonomic philosophies.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e For each species of \u003ci\u003eCarex\u003c\/i\u003e in Illinois, there is a full illustration showing the habit of the plant and close-ups of various vegetative and reproduc­tive 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 no­menclature 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.","brand":"Southern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069066756336,"sku":"9780809386277","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780809386277_p0.jpg?v=1763741741","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780809386277","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
