This a reprint of the 2nd revised, corrected and augmented edition of Flora Corisica (2013) and is published by the Société Botanique du Centre-Ouest (SBC)) as a bulletin number 39 in their Nouvelle Série.

Flora Corica is a compact pocket-sized field guide, printed on thin but tough Bible paper, that describes all the vascular plants found wild on Corsica. This book is the result of 30 years research by the authors and a group of 16 collaborators, involving extensive field work, examination of thousands of living and herbarium specimens and a compilation of previously published data.

The contents include a general introduction to the vegetation, climate and geography, comprehensive species descriptions, and finely detailed line drawings – the illustrations are unchanged from the first edition.

French language text.
