The flora of the Clyde area
"The Flora of the Clyde Area" is an essential botanical reference, written to fill a long-felt gap in the study of the region’s plant life. With its roots in the historic legacy of Hennedy’s “Clydesdale Flora”, this volume serves as a modern response to the call for a revised and accessible handbook for botanists in Glasgow and the west of Scotland.
As stated in the introduction:
"The need for a new handbook to the flora of the Clyde area has long been felt by local botanists in Glasgow and the west of Scotland. It is more than forty years since the late Professor King’s revision of Hennedy’s 'Clydesdale Flora' was published; and all editions of that classic work have long been out of print.”
Carefully researched and regionally focused, this book is a vital resource for field botanists, natural historians, and anyone with a love for the native plant life of the Clyde Valley and surrounding landscapes.
