| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | Introductory chapters cover Classification and Relationships, Habitat Lists and Cook’s Guide. A conventional indented Dichotomous Key to species is followed by a Multi-access Synoptic Key. The major portion of the book consists of detailed species accounts facing line-drawings of the plant, leaves, flower, fruit (usually in dorsal and lateral views) and fruit TS. 10km distribution maps are presented two to a page, but these are now superseded by the later BSBI Atlas. |
| Examine |  with x8 or x10 hand lens |
| Specimen Preparation | Fresh or pressed, but ideally with ripe fruits. |
| Identification difficulty | Generally straightforward, at least if ripe fruits are present. |
