The flowering plants have received a lot of attention over four centuries, with a total list exceeding 600 taxa. Many “lost” species have been re-found and nearly 100 new county records are reported.The book is profusely illustrated and various snippets of natural history are presented in captions and feature boxes – it is much more than just a catalogue. For each taxonomic group, the authors give an account of previous recording, fieldwork methods, and how they went about securing accurate identifications.
