The Vegetative Key to the British Flora: A New Approach to Plant Identification - Softcover
This key enables the user to easily identify any native or alien plant without flowers or fruit, with nothing more than a hand lens.
The idea has been for any diligent novice to ID a plant within three turns of a page, often identified correctly in under 30 seconds (due to the simple polychotomous keys).
The key will be invaluable to all professional and amateur botanists, ecological consultants, students and naturalists.

"Get this excellent book, use it, and be part of the botanical revolution!" --British Wildlife
"Wow - it works, and works well! Here is a significant addition to flora-making literature." --TAXON
"Let's wait until it's in flower. No more! Every plant ecologist should have a copy." --The Bulletin - the journal of the British Ecological Society

Most field guides only work when you have flowers or fruit; something I found rather frustrating when out botanising/recording.
It is often simpler and easier to ID a plant from vegetative characters than from flowers alone (yes, really!) and the keys work just as well on plants in flower. Flower and fruit characters have been included where appropriate, especially characters not readily available in other floras, so you shouldn't have to take several books into the field.
