This plan has proved to be efficient and satisfactory. The wise self-restraint of the editors in putting their goals within humanly reachable distance, and in frankly stating the limitations of the undertaking have resulted for the first time in the production of an extremely useful European Flora.'

It is based on a critical review of existing literature and on studies in herbaria and in the field. It aims to be simple as well as authoritative, and should enable a reader to name as far as its subspecies any fern, conifer or flowering plant growing wild or widely cultivated. The fifth and final volume covers the Monocotyledons. Apart from keys and descriptions, information is given on geographical distribution and, where possible, on habitat preference and chromosome number. All names used in Floras or important monographs are cited in the text or index. The text, in English, uses a limited vocabulary, and there are glossaries of technical terms and Latin equivalents.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe Flora Europaea organisation\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e A short history of the Flora Europaea project\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Lists of basic and standard floras\u003cbr\u003e Synopsis of families\u003cbr\u003e Key to families of angiospermae\u003cbr\u003e Explanatory notes on the text\u003cbr\u003e Text\u003cbr\u003e Appendices\u003cbr\u003e Index to volume 5\u003cbr\u003e Index to families and genera of volumes 1-5\u003cbr\u003e Maps.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Botany \u0026amp; plant sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Botany \u0026amp; plant sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Botany%20\u0026amp;%20plant%20sciences%20%5BPST%5D%22\"\u003ePST\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46006718923032,"sku":"9780521153706","price":45.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521153706i_2bba853f-9808-4a6b-b1ad-3fbbe22e1ece.jpg?v=1691372693","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/flora-europaea-paperback-9780521153706","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
