FOSA Rushes, Bulrushes and Pondweeds

by V.L. Harms, A.L. Leighton, M.A. Vetter.

Welcome to the world of monocots living in or near Saskatchewan's sloughs, rivers, lakes, streams and ditches. About one-third of Saskatchewan's flowering plants belong to this group, and all but 3 of the 119 species covered in this fascicle live in or near wetlands or waterbodies. Saskatchewan's diversity, quality and sheer quantity of aquatic and wetland habitats make this group of plants particularly important. This amply illustrated guide is intended as an introduction as well as an aid for species identification.
