Wild Flowers by Martin Walters
The aim of this text is to enable anyone who is in the countryside to identify hundreds of flower species. Each wild flower entry includes: identifying photograph and description of appearance and colour; size, type of habitat, geographical range and flowering season; and herbal medicinal uses. In addition, the introduction has sections on the parts of the flower, stem, leaf and fruit, and information on the common and scientific names of wild flowers.
