Synopsis:
Oleg Polunin here describes 2600 of the commonest wild flowers of Europe. The book is aimed at the student and amateur botanist, examining 1900 species in detail but keeping botanical terminology to a minimum. It looks at flower distribution and their uses - such as in healing or as poisons or dyes. Colour photographs of over 1000 plants, supported by a further 280 line drawings, clearly illustrate the species, and for travellers abroad there is a useful list of common French, German, and Italian plant names.
About the Author:
Oleg Polunin, who died in 1985, is renowned world-wide for his work as a botanist and plant photographer, and for his remarkable series of field guides to the flora of Europe and of the Himalayas.
