This is the first field guide to British and Irish flora that covers every species found in the region together with colour illustrations of all species and distribution maps for most of them. By limiting its scope to these countries, the book can offer an unprecedented amount of detail, enabling the reader not only to identify plants with greater confidence, but also to discover where and when to look for some of the more uncommon or localised species. The book also includes full coverage of often-ignored plant taxa, including the grasses, sedges, rushes, horsetails and clubmosses. Ferns, though not strictly speaking flowering plants, are included too. Written and illustrated by an acclaimed team of specialists, this book is a unique and exceptionally useful field guide aimed at anyone with an interest in wild plants.
