Flora of Great Britain and Ireland: Volume 5, Butomaceae - Orchidaceae

‘… the authors have made an excellent beginning in an impressive undertaking. The intent of the authors was to create a new generation taxonomic treatment that could serve as a single reference work, supplying basic information of British vascular plants to a broad and varied cadre of scientists from environmentalists to molecular biologists and biochemists. The authors of Flora of Great Britain and Ireland have with their first volume succeeded in making good progress in this direction.’ Alice le Duc, HortScience

‘ … they are a fitting culmination of the progress in the study of British [lants and vegetation during this century’. P. Lusby, Edinburgh Journal of Botany

‘Flora of Great Britain and Ireland will prove to be of great use for professional and amateur botanists, conservationists, gardeners, specialists in agriculture and other people interested in nature.’ Jiri Danihelka, Flora Giobotanica

‘The scope and content of this first volume are a mouthwatering fortaste of what is to follow – accurate, detailed and all-embracing accounts of each species. I look forward to the publication of the remaining volumes and the completion of a mammoth and worthwhile project.’ Paul Hackney, Irish Naturalists’ Journal

‘… exceptionally detailed … by far the most complete and authoritative account of neophytes and aliens yet published … I found many of the habitat descriptions superlative.’ John Richards, Watsonia
