The identification book presents 236 plants, each accompanied by a photo, classification into plant families, and names in German, Latin, English, Norwegian, and Swedish, along with a detailed description that includes information about their habitat and distribution. Additionally, it features drawings (including leaf shapes and flower types), maps (such as those depicting vegetation zones in the Scandinavian mountain regions), and an introduction for amateur botanists, which is the primary target audience of the book. The revised and expanded new edition reflects the significant changes in systematics and nomenclature that have occurred since the first edition in 2005. The plants are organized nomenclaturally; the index includes the German and Latin/scientific plant names.
