A Manual for the Identification of Plants Cultivated in Europe, Both Out-of-Doors and Under Glass

The European Garden Flora is the definitive manual for the accurate identification of cultivated ornamental plants and has been designed to meet the highest scientific standards. The vocabulary has nevertheless been kept as uncomplicated as possible so that the work is fully accessible to the informed nurseryman, gardener and landscape architect, as well as to the professional botanist. Although based on Europe, the work is intended to serve as a reference on plants cultivated throughout the world. Comprehensive keys are provided at the level of family, genus and species and line diagrams are included to illustrate important diagnostic features of critical taxa. Reference is made to useful illustrations and taxonomic accounts, and a small amount of guidance on cultivation is provided for many genera.
