Review (by Malcolm Storey) | The 4th edition of the standard flora. A complete flora covering all naturalised introductions and frequent casuals as well as our native and archeophyte flora. Field and forestry crops and widely planted ornamental trees are also included. The apomictic genera: Rubus, Taraxacum and Hieracium are only treated as far as comparatively readily identifiable "sections". The keys generally work well, but, as in previous editions, the species descriptions are very spare. A few changes and corrections in two later printings are available as PDF’s for those with earlier copies. Some of the changes affect the keys. |
