Alpine Flowers: The Complete Field Guide

The definitive field guide to the floristic wonder of the Alps. Walking through an Alpine meadow in late spring is one of Europe’s great wildlife experiences – the variety of flowers can be both dizzying and magical, while the prospect of identifying them can appear intimidating. This brilliant guide book provides the answer.

Alpine Flowers: The Complete Field Guide covers every species that occurs in the alpine and subalpine zones – more than 1,000 are covered with detailed descriptions and photographic coverage, with images of a further 700 rarer or accidental species included. Photographs have been carefully selected to allow key identification criteria to be pinpointed. Range maps are also included to show at a glance where the plants can regularly be found. Comprehensive yet portable, this book belongs in every Alpine naturalist’s backpack.
