New Flora of the British Isles (Plastic cover)
Editorial Reviews
Review
'Clive Stace has become a household name amongst British field botanists since his first edition of this guise was published in 1991 and it is pleasing to see that an updated edition is on the bookshelves so soon. The latest edition includes over 200 species and sub-species and has greatly improved text quality ... The inclusion of additional line drawing ... for the difficult groups such as brambles is a major advantage for the serious botanist. The further revision of alien and naturalised plants also helps to remove any ambiguities relating to these plants ... I would recommend this new edition to any serious botanist.' Dave Garner, Scottish Wildlife
'If you enjoyed using the first edition, it is well worth paying for the upgrade.' Rodney Burton, The London Naturalist
'I can recommend it to everyone who looks for an outline of the plant diversity in the British Isles, a quick tool for identification of British plants and a model work for a synoptical treatment covering floristic and taxonomic knowledge.' Zdenek Kaplan, Flora Giobotanica
