This volume should enable anyone who is in the countryside, whether on a walk along the coast or in the mountains or a ramble through woodland, fields or wetlands, to identify hundreds of flower species. Each wild flower entry includes: identifying illustrations and description of appearance and colour; size, type of habitat, geographical range and flowering season; and herbal medicinal uses. In addition, the introduction has sections on the parts of the flower, stem, leaf and fruit, and information on the common and scientific names of wild flowers.
