Review (by Malcolm Storey) | Based on the full "CTW", the Excursion Flora has the same keys, but the descriptions are reduced (or removed altogether for rare species.) Rarer naturalised species, segregates of critical groups (Rubus, Hieracium, Alchemilla, Sorbus, Euphrasia) and most casuals have been completely removed. |
