Flora Britannica

Richard Mabey

Covering the native and naturalised plants of England, Scotland and Wales, this book sets out to fulfil the role of a cultural flora, rather than a botanical one. It is an account of the role of wild plants in social life, arts, customs and landscape. Richard Mabey, the renowned author and broadcaster, spent five years researching the work and has collated the results of a nation-wide celebration of over 1,000 species. An unusual encyclopaedia of living folklore. 480 pages.
