Product Description
Product Description
This book describes the regions of the Iberian peninsula, one of the richest botanical regions of Europe. Each of the authors travelled widely there and the work includes first-hand information and photographs. The text is divided into two main sections: one describing the regions and the areas in which particular plants may be found and the other concerned with the identification of species by means of keys and short diagnostic descriptions.

Format:Paperback
This is probably the best available and affordable book on the flowers of the region. There are hundreds of photographs and many clear line drawings. In addition there is good background information about the climate, geography and regions in Spain and Portugal. There are many references to other books the enthusiast might wish to buy or borrow.
