Synopsis
Two years after the publication of Flora Britannica, Chatto & Windus is proud to present a concise edition of this popular and bestselling work. Illustrated throughout in colour, this smaller, portable Flora Britannica is organised thematically, rather than botanically, and makes available at a readily affordable price the fruits of five years of intensive original research.
Flora Britannica is unique in that it is not principally a botanical flora but a cultural one - an account of the role of wild plants in social life, arts, custom and landscape. It is also unique in that information has been supplied by the people themselves: people all over Britain - both rural and urban - have been encouraged to record and celebrate the cultural dimensions of their own flora, and to send their memories and anecdotes, observations and regional knowledge to Flora Britannica. The result is a nationwide record of the native and naturalised plants of England, Scotland and Wales.
