A highly illustrated and portable identification guide to the most
common wild flowers and other plants
This innovative photographic guide covers the most common wild flowers
and other plants found in Great Britain and Ireland, as defined by the
very latest distribution maps. It is designed so that anyone faced with
an unfamiliar wild plant can confidently put a name to the species or
recognise that it is a less common plant needing further investigation.
The identification process is based on standard botanical features that
are straightforwardly described, clearly illustrated and supported by a
simple visual key to families. This book can be your springboard into
the wider world of botanical identification, wherever you are, and of
plants both common and rare.
