Guide to Britain's Rarest Plants Dixon Christopher
For centuries, botanists have been drawn to the rarest species, sometimes with dire consequences for the species' survival. It is hoped that it will help to throw light on some of the species that normally gain little attention, and foster an appreciation of our most threatened plants. In this book, Great Britain's rarest flowering plants are discussed in turn, including the stories behind their discovery, the reasons for their rarity, and the work being done to save them from dying out.
These range from continental, warmth-loving species in the south of England to those found only on the highest Scottish mountains. This guide describes 66 native species of plants that have the most narrowly restricted ranges in Great Britain. Each species is shown together with its habitat to allow the reader to better understand the ecological context.
