With superb photography throughout, including stunning portraits and close-ups of key features where relevant, and succinct, no-nonsense text this ebook will help you identify almost any wild flower that you may encounter in Britain and Ireland. More than 800 carefully selected species are included in the guide, and only extreme rarities or seldom seen species are excluded.
Key features are highlighted in tinted boxes throughout, and details of confusion species and look-alikes are given where relevant. Accurate colour maps based on the national plant-mapping scheme are provided for almost every species. This handy guide is an essential tool for anyone interested in our wild flowers.
