A New Key to Wild Flowers

This is a 2004 reprint by the Field Studies Council of the title originally published by Cambridge University Press. An essential reference for field botanists, ecologists and naturalists.

From the original publisher’s announcement:

This flora breaks new ground in wild flower identification in adopting a novel approach. It is an original key for the naming of flowers, trees, grasses, sedges, rushes and ferns in the British Isles. Refined by testing to AIDGAP standards, it requires no expert botanical knowledge. The key is not a descriptive flora but is a handy means to rapid identification. In this revised edition the plant names have been brought in line with those used in Stace’s New Flora of the British Isles The line illustrations are by Michael Hickey.
