Review (by Malcolm Storey)

The book starts with a glossary, then the identification section begins with a single page (p12) key which leads you to the diagrams to be considered. This is followed by 128 pages of line drawings which make up the first half of the book.

The second half consists of short descriptions of a huge number of species and varieties. Each family is prefixed by the floral formula (see p5) and a short description.

Examine in the Hand ( with x8 or x10 hand lens is also useful)
