Consider Botany in a Day by Thomas J. Elpel.
“Botany in a Day presents plant identification by family patterns so you learn to spot shared features and likely uses instead of memorizing individual species. It’s practical and compact, useful for gardeners, hikers, and hobby naturalists who want broader coverage than single-species guides. what works best is a conceptual map that speeds recognition across many plants. The main limitation is that it can be light on exhaustive species-level detail and field photos, so plan to cross-check with a local flora or photo guide.”
