Flowers of Greece: 2 volumes – with DVD.

The aim of the two book set is to provide good coverage of the Greek Flora to aid naturalists, botanists and gardeners to identify plants they see in Greece.

The most attractive groups of plants are presented in depth such as Dianthus, Viola and Campanula while other groups of plants such as Polygonaceae, Chenopodiaceae and Aramanthaceae are covered in slightly less depth. There is information on habitat and location as well as the flowering period. The inclusion of a DVD enables access to more than 13,000 photos and lists of plants found in Greece. Every other page has a range of small photos o to go with the plant descriptions. There are also many line drawings.

Introductory chapters cover the physical characteristics of Greece: geography, rocks and landscape, climate, maps of Greece, plant – life in Greece. This last includes the flora and its origins, conservation, flowers and their seasons, habitats in Greece. There is also a  glossary. Entries include the Latin name, a brief description, and distribution.

The format of the book is now hardback, without much addition to the weight, so still useful as a field guide.
