About This Book

A practical field guide for young naturalists that explains how to identify wild plants using clear descriptions and numerous illustrations, arranging species by season, habitat, and habit to aid observation in woods, waysides, meadows, bogs, chalk downs, riversides, arable land, and coastal margins. Early chapters introduce general plant structure, pollination and fertilisation, and climbing mechanisms; subsequent sections offer season-by-season accounts of common and specialist species, brief discussions of parasitic and carnivorous plants, and convenient lists and a glossary to support identification and classification.
