| Summary | "The Plants of Michigan" by Henry A. Gleason is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work serves as an identification guide for the native seed plants in Michigan, aiming to assist students, nature enthusiasts, and vacationers in recognizing local flora. It is not intended for expert botanists or casual observers, but rather for anyone interested in developing their plant identification skills. The opening of the text provides a comprehensive overview of its purpose and structure, including how to use its identification keys. Initially, it establishes that the book is designed to help users learn the names of plants by employing simple structural characteristics to distinguish different species. It details the methodology of using 'keys' that guide users through a series of descriptive choices, ultimately leading to the identification of plant families and individual species. The opening portion also emphasizes that users need to have a basic understanding of botanical terms and encourages careful observation as a crucial part of the identification process.
