About this ebook
The definitive field guide to the floristic wonders of the Alps
Walking through an Alpine meadow in late spring is one of Europe's great wildlife experiences – the variety of flowers can be both dizzying and magical, while the prospect of identifying them can appear intimidating. This brilliant guide book provides the answer.
Alpine Flowers covers every species that occurs in the alpine and subalpine zones – more than 1,000 are covered with detailed descriptions and photographic coverage, with images of a further 700 rarer or accidental species included. Photographs have been carefully selected to allow key identification criteria to be pinpointed. Range maps are also included to show at a glance where the plants can regularly be found.
Comprehensive yet portable, this book belongs in every Alpine naturalist's backpack.
