The concise British flora in colour - Ebury Press and Michael Joseph

"The Concise British Flora in Colour", published by Ebury Press and Michael Joseph, is a carefully curated and visually rich guide to the plant life of the British Isles. Though many botanical works had already been published by the time of its release, this edition sets itself apart with its clarity, beauty, and accessibility, making it ideal for both casual nature lovers and dedicated plant enthusiasts.
 
It opens with a modest yet purposeful preface:
 
"In recent years many illustrated works on the British flora have issued from the press. It may appear at first sight to be superfluous to publish another. But there seem to be good reasons for this.”
 
Combining scientifically accurate descriptions with vibrant colour illustrations, this volume distils the essentials of British flora into a format that’s easy to carry and a pleasure to explore.
 
Whether you’re identifying wildflowers on a country walk or studying the ecology of native species, this book is both a practical tool and a joy to own.
