  In every corner of Scotland, wild plants grow in habitats specific to their needs and evolution, from open moorland to mountain ledges and from grasslands to wetlands. From the Scots pine to the one-flowered wintergreen, Scottish Wild Plants provides a wealth of detailed factual material about over 40 of the most rare and interesting species, focussing on special features of interest, the history of their discovery and their particular ecological needs. It is superbly illustrated throughout with Sydney Clarke's stunning photographs.
