Fully illustrated and mapped guide to the British and Irish flora. Its restriction to the British Isles alone allows for more detail, more local information, easier identification and the inclusion of extensive maps. With specific details about plants appearing in certain areas and coloured maps designed to make location and identification easy, the book also includes details of local specialities for the Isles of Scilly. Also featured is an illustrated survey of recently disappeared British and Irish plants, some of which may return. Information about grasses, sedges, rushes, horsetails and clubmosses is included, as well as coverage of ferns - though not strictly speaking flowering plants, their inclusion is warranted by popularity.

With over 2000 detailed colour paintings, and more than 800 maps, this is the most extensively illustrated wild flower guide to Britain and Ireland yet published.
