4.0 out of 5 stars The best guide to Mediterranean plants, 28 April 2009
By Andrew Hodgson (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a good book, covering all the species of the Mediterranean coast (most guides just cover a selection of species).
The book is organised by plant family, which may be a drawback for non-botanists, but the colour plates are good enough to track down the right bit of the book to investigate further.
The descriptions themselves are simple and clear, and a helpful feature in the margin is the line drawings which help clarify key identification features further.
This is a great book. The only improvement I could think to make would be to add colour photos and perhaps some description of distinct habitats and their flora communities.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wildflowers of mediterranean, 10 Aug 2005
There are a lot of books on mediterranean's wildflowers or other plant species. But, majority of them are far from scientific wiev. This book is with rich content and colourful identifications advisable scientific source.

3.0 out of 5 stars Illustrations deserve better, 6 Oct 2009
By T. G. Doy (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Marjorie Blamey's illustrations are her usual high standard, it's a shame the same cannot be said for this A & C Blacks publication. The paper is so thin that the print shows through the pages and many have been badly and to closely trimmed. The layout is far from convenient with the illustrations being grouped together in a separate section remote from the descriptive text and diagrams. A little more thought and less penny pinching could have resulted in a much more useful and aesthetically pleasing guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive reference
A first class reference for those who want more than just a book of photographs. Quite detailed in description and where usually found.
