Almost 3,000 species of flowering plants are named or described and keyed in this, the third of Oleg Polunin's guides to the flowers of Europe. The author describes the 16 richest plant hunting areas from his own experience travelling in the area. The 461 colour photographs on 64 plates are supplemented by illustrations of characteristic plants in each region, and line drawings of diagnostic features of selected plants.
