The well-known Ferns of the Southeastern States has been reissued by the Hafner Publishing Co., Inc. The illustrated key to orders, families, and genera is a useful tool for the casual reader. Since the technical terms may be unfamiliar, the illustrated key permits easier understanding of these terms. The catalog contains descriptions of the taxa, species keys, and line drawings of the ferns. These drawings are clear, with sufficient detail of critical parts for proper interpretation.
