About this Item

Hardback. Previous owners stamp to inside covers. Wear, tear and marks to D/J. This book provides a concise and inexpensive Flora for the student and keen amateur botanist. It igves a brief, but accurate and scientific, descriptions of all the plants commonly found in the British Isles. The two main features of the book are the keys and the descriptions. The keys include almost all the native, many naturalized and a few casual species, and show at a glance which species are included in the descriptions. The descriptions treat all species common in lowland districts of the British Isles, and some rarer species likely to be found near field centres and field stations. They are more concise than in the big Flora of the Brtish Isles, omitting details which only concern the advanced student, but are as exemplary in method and detail with no sacrifice of scientific standards. The Second Edition includes two major changes: a completely revised treatment of the ferns, and consequential changes in the key to Families. 586 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
