For someone who is not a botanist, Roland's Flora isn't so easy to use. I
started with no experience, using the Peterson's field guide to the
wildflowers. It was very easy to use, and I think it is to be recommended
to anyone who is not a scientist. I cross-reference with Roland's. The new
book, "Wild Plants of Eastern Canada", by Marilyn Walker, is not a complete
reference, or a very good field guide, but it is delightful and informative.

I would always be a little careful eating any wild plants unless I knew
exactly what they were. Caraway is supposed to be very good as seasoning or
in salads. However, the pictures of it look very much like fool's parsley
and poison hemlock.

Jim is correct – All branches of the AVRL have copies of Roland’s Flora
of Nova Scotia. If your branches copy is currently checked out you can
request another set from another branch. We have 16 copies in the AVRL so
you would never have to wait long for a requested copy.

Subject: [NatureNS] re identification of caraway or other N.S. plants
For folks who don't have a handy plant field guide, remember that
Roland's Flora of N.S. is in all public libraries and high school libraries
in N.S., I think. AlsoI believe that, via the Irving Environmental Sciences
Centre and/or the Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens Web-sites, the herbarium
specimen images can be accessed on-line by anyone?? Perhaps Ruth or Melanie
can confirm or deny this and send contact information for access? Thanks in
advance, from Jim in Wolfville.
