This handsome book has been unanimously acclaimed as a reliable field guide for naturalists and an authoritative text for botanists. It will also be an inspiration and fund of practical information for professional and amateur gardeners.
The recently amended text is comprehensive and clear, the format simple and easy to follow, and the copious illustrations, many in colour, are both useful and beautiful. Of particular value are the distribution maps, keys to genera and species, information on propagation and cultivation, and a variety of illustrations which enable identification beyond all doubt.
