  This illustrated guide identifies over 1200 species of wild flowers to be found throughout Britain and Europe. Each of the detailed main descriptions is accompanied by a colour photograph showing the plant in natural habitat, and the specific diagnostic features of many additional species are clearly emphasized in line drawings. The introductory section includes practical advice on how to interpret plant structures, an account of the major types of habitat and a summary of the family groups of wild flowers. Notes on field equipment, a discussion on conservation and a list of areas of outstanding botanical interest are other useful sections in the book.
