The clearest recognition guides available

Introduction

Authoritative text, clear photography and a systematic approach make this the most comprehensive recognition guide to wild flowers in Britain and northwest Europe. Packed with more than 800 full-colour photographs of over 500 plants, this handbook is designed to act as a concise guide to identification, enabling you to recognize each species quickly and easily.

Expertly written and thoroughly authenticated, each entry combines a precise description with annotated photographs to highlight the wild flower's chief characteristics and distinguishing features. Specially commissioned full-colour illustrations show the typical shape and growth habit of each plant, while colour-coded bands provide at-a-glance facts for quick reference.

An identification key at the start of the book uses photographs and illustrations to pinpoint the key features of different plant types and, through a series of simple questions about the appearance of the flower, leads you to the correct entry in the book.
