Flora of Bouches-du-Rhône

In a compact and portable format, Flore des Bouches-du-Rhône is an identification guide and catalogue of the vascular plants of the department, including both native and naturalized species.
Concise descriptions are enhanced by richly detailed dichotomous keys but without illustrations. Each taxon includes details on biology, habitat, biogeography, flowering period and its rarity status in the department. There are also notes on taxonomy and distribution.
A key to the genera of aquatic macrophytes is provided at the end of the book, followed by a short botanical glossary since the authors have chosen to simplify the vocabulary as much as possible. Finally, the nomenclature attempts to conform to the most recent taxonomic positions while the indexes and synonyms make it possible to cross reference with other literature on the region.
A useful book to carry with you whether travelling along the coast of the Camargue to the crests of Sainte-Victoire, passing through the marshes of Crau or the dry scrubland of the Calanques.
