This pocket-size booklet describes and illustrates many of the beautiful wild flowers found along the East Devon coast. With a National Nature Reserve, local nature reserves and several Sites of Special Scientific Interest, the uniqueness of this coastline’s geology, fauna and flora is recognized internationally.
Anyone interested in plant is increasingly aware of the need for conservation, not merely of the species themselves but of their habitats.
In this booklet, plant species are arranged by habitat to emphasize their ecology : from mud-flats and salt-marshes, sand dunes, shingle and rocky shores, to sea cliffs, coastal fens and cliff-top grassland. Within these sections, brief descriptions of each plant are followed by mention of their ecological distribution and relative abundance locally. A section on their interest, addresses their use, if any, whether as food or herbs, or as sources of fibre, drugs, dyes or oil.
Among the many books on British wild flowers that are currently available, many are too large, or to expensive, for the pocket and others may seem bewilderingly comprehensive to the average visitor or walker of the coast path. This booklet fills the need for a modestly priced pocket-book that deals specifically with the Wild Flowers of the East Devon Coast
