This guide provides users through a simple key to
help them to identify the plants and animals that they find. Text on the
reverse side of the charts provides further information. Splash proof and wipe
clean for outdoor use. They are small enough to take into the field as the
charts fold to B5 size (approximate size: 240 x 180mm).
The Field Study Council Woodland plants guide
features 41 flowering plants of woods and forests.
Beautiful colour illustrations show the key
identification features of each plant, including flowers, leaves and stems. The
authors have grouped the paintings by flower colour: yellow, red, white and
blue. Use this concise fold-out guide to quickly put a name to the flowers that
you see.
But what if you find a plant that is not in flower?
Based on the authors' many years of teaching botanical students, traditional
wild flower guides are not much help here. So we've included a vegetative key
to plants of woodland. This is a full identification key based on leaf characteristics.
A springtime visit to a woodland is a fantastic
botanical experience. From bluebell to wood sage, and dog's mercury to yellow
archangel, many plants flower before the leaf canopy closes. But there are
plenty of woodland plants to see in the summer as well, particularly in rides
and clearings.
