This second volume completes a project, begun by Cambridge University Press, to produce an up-to-date detailed Greek flora. A team of 25 botanists from several European countries catalogue the flora and endemic species found in the Greek mountain region. Each entry gives name and bibliography reference, synonomy, a description of the species, notes on nomenclature and typification, ecology and flowering time, distribution, chromosome number and special features.

Botany, like other branches of western science, has its roots in ancient Greece, with Theophrastos of Eressos (372-287 B.C.) generally considered to have been the first botanist. Modern botanical studies in the area started with the travels of John Sibthorp and Ferdinand Bauer in 1786-1787, the results of which were subsequently published in the great Flora Graeca Sibthorpiana, appearing in ten heavy folio volumes in the period 1806-1840. An annotated re-issue was prepared by Strid & Strid (2009-2013). For a brief history of the botanical exploration of Greece from the time of Sibthorp to the present, see Strid (2020a).The present Atlas covers the whole of Greece. Maps have been generated from the Flora Hellenica Database which was started in 1989 and now comprises 1,052,338 geo-referenced records, 436,353 of which have been registered by the present author. Records in the database comprise 502,882 herbarium collections and 321,759 literature reports, the rest being field notes, photographs, etc.This Atlas will provide a baseline for future studies of Greek biodiversity.

For hundreds of years the Athos peninsula in north-eastern Greece has been inhabited only by Orthodox monks. The absence of grazing animals and largescale agriculture means that its flora and vegetation are closer to the pristine stage than anywhere else in the Mediterranean area. After introductory text on general features, vegetation, history of botanical exploration, etc., this work lists c. 1,500 species of vascular plants in the area with brief descriptions and notes on ecology, distribution, etc. About 80 per cent of the species are illustrated in a photo appendix. The book is based on extensive field work by the authors as well as surveys of relevant literature and herbarium specimens. A foreword has been provided by the Patriarch of Constantinople.
