Riassunto

The purpose of this book is to help complete beginners to identify the wildflowers they might find when out for a walk. It covers the most common British wildflowers.
While maintaining botanical accuracy, it avoids the usual convention of botanical order and has been compiled with the plants in colour sections. This makes it much easier to use and with just 250 species it is less daunting than trying to learn everything at once.
The book is illustrated throughout. The first section includes clear line drawings showing parts of a flower, flower forms as well as leaf details. The comprehensive text for each species is accompanied by at least one colour photograph. The images show the important features of each wildflower in order to aid identification. Where a species might be difficult to differentiate from another, the key characteristics are written in italics to avoid confusion. Flowering times and usual habitats are also included as well as interesting information about uses of some of the plants in the past.

· Wildflowers divided into colour sections for ease of use
· Simple introduction to plant families aids the identification of particular species
· Fully illustrated with over 500 colour photographs and line drawings
· Author has a wealth of experience introducing plant identification to beginners of all ages
