Channel Island Flora

Channel Islands Flora by Peter Double features over one hundred common plants in habitats familiar to all of us: country lanes, maritime heath, coastal footpaths, woodlands and the seashore splash zone. It is not a book for seeking rarities, obscure members of the carrot or pea family are not included.  Rather, consider this pocket-size outdoor companion as a wild flora 'starter pack' featuring many of the species one might easily find among the islands as the months and seasons progress. Being able to recognise and name the more common species with confidence is satisfying in itself but passing that knowledge on to others may plant mental seeds that could help conserve wild flower habitats for generations to come.
