Synopsis

Discover where Britain's rarest plants grow, with a practical guide to their localities.

This edition expands the field of knowledge by compiling detailed local lists and geographic notes for rare plants across Britain, making it a valuable reference for botanists, naturalists, and students of plant geography. The work also explains how the lists were built and how to use them effectively in investigations of plant distribution.

This volume extends the first by adding new localities and corrections, focusing on the distribution of species rather than mere names. It discusses the rationale for including certain species and counties, and explains how rarity is assessed across regions. The result is a practical, methodical guide to where rare plants have been found, with an emphasis on usefulness for ongoing study and field reference.

• Detailed county-by-county notes showing where rare plants occur in Britain
• Explanations of the editor’s method for recording distribution and rarity
• Insights on how local Floras influence the overall picture of plant geography
• Aids for researchers planning visits, field surveys, or further compilations

Ideal for readers of botanical geography, field researchers, and anyone studying Britain’s plant life.
