Description: Traditionally, texts on ferns and their identification are written for use by professional botanists. Such texts are usually too technical for use by non-botanists who find the dichotomous keys and vocabulary rather difficult. For the non-botanist, the person who wants to know "What fern is that?", this book is offered as a field guide. --from Preface (p. vi).
