Description: A botanical catalogue of weeds growing throughout the southeastern United States. Because I had so much difficulty distinguishing between varieties of weeds (by sight) and actual plants, I catalogued various species of weeds growing throughout my home state, Florida. There were actually many fewer varieties of weeds than I had suspected, and found only ten to twenty different, but distinct, species. I used a high-resolution camera to document my findings.
