The illustrated flora of Britain and Northern Europe. 1989. over 2400 plants, native and intro- duced, described and illustrated in colour. 544 p. Lex8vo. Cloth.

From the preface: Our aim has been to provide an illustrated handbookto our wild flowers with both a fuller - indeed, within out limits acomprehensive - coverage and more numerous and detailed colourillustrations than is possible in a portable field guide. In theinterests of keeping the book within reasonable bounds, we have followedother authors in omitting grasses, sedges, rushes and horsetails - allcertainly flowering plants but of rather more specialist interest. Evenso, this left over 2500 species and important subspecies to cover,whether native or naturalized or regularly occurring as aliens orcasuals. Garden escapes are always a problem, but we have tried toinclude all those that the reader is likely to encounter, as also aselection of important or conspicuous forestry trees.

Good second hand copy.
