PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

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 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.

  • Covers the plants most likely to be seen, including those in coastal areas
  • Includes more than 3,800 colour photographs, with macro images of key features when needed
  • Features a friendly, easy-to-use design and text written in plain English, with essential botanical terms described and illustrated

Critic Reviews

"The latest high-quality product off the never-ending WildGuides production line . . . . They are all excellent and this latest publication is no different. . . . For someone like me who doesn't know his gymnosperms from his angiosperms it will be invaluable. . . . With plants flourishing due to almost daily combinations of sun and rain there is no better time to obtain a book like this and put it to the test."---Eric Brown, News Shopper
"An outstanding book for the beginner/enthusiast, one which will put you on the path of good practice and will serve you well for many years."---Paddy Tobin, An Irish Gardener
"[With] plants I was totally unfamiliar with . . . . the book was perfect for the task in hand."---Stephen Clements, Alpine Gardener
"A gamechanger."---Amanda Tuke, British Wildlife
