Anyone can tell a rowan from a linden, but only the experienced will be able to name the herbs that grow under our feet - on city lawns, meadows, swamps and in forests. Will you be able to recall the appearance of lungwort, wintergreen, goose cinquefoil, ryegrass, sweet clover? And recognize touch-me-not and goldenrod so as not to let them destroy natural communities? Did you know that there are more than 100 species of hogweed in the world, and not all of them are as disgusting as Sosnowsky's hogweed?

This book is not only a guide to the world of plants that live in and near cities, but also a collection of biographies of numerous members of botanical families that we so often and willingly confuse - or do not recognize at all. The author will tell about the popular and scientific names of plants, the history of their appearance in the country and the common misconceptions that most of us are subject to from childhood.
