This is the first full flora of the Vice County of Renfrewshire (Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, Inverclyde and parts of southand north-west Glasgow). It marks the culmination of over
50 years of field recording by local botanists and over 18 years of fieldwork and in-depth research of historical records by
the author.

• More than 660 dot maps of native and frequently encountered alien species;
• Introductory chapters on geology, soils, landscape, climate, historical recording and the changing environment;
• Discussion chapters on distribution patterns, floristic
changes and plant and habitat conservation;
• 24 pages of colour plates of maps and photographs showing botanical hotspots and local notable species.
