Recognition is made easy by comparison with 168 colour photographs of the flowers as they will typically be found. To identify a species simply match the colour of the flower to the corresponding colour section and your task becomes easy. Once it has been clearly identified, the pictograms which accompany the plates will allow both the beginner and the serious botanist to discover at a glance the other interesting facts about the flower. ...A section on habitat, a glossary of pharmaceutical terminology, a bibliography and two indexes make this a handy home reference and companion for further study." . .
