    Harrap’s Wild Flowers is an excellent photographic guide and tool for wild flower identification.  This popular wild flower ID guide has beautiful photography throughout and includes both flower portraits and close-ups of key features where relevant. Complemented by a clear and easy to use text, the guide allows identification of almost any wild flowers encountered in Britain and Ireland.

    934 selected species are included in the book, and only extreme rarities or seldom seen species are excluded. The pages have been designed to ensure that the photographs are reproduced at a sensible size and that the text is readable. Key features are highlighted in tinted boxes throughout the book, and details of confusion species and look-alikes are given where relevant. Accurate colour maps based on the national plant-mapping scheme are provided for almost every species.
