But in spite of their renown there is no general account of their flora with details of the distribution of the various species. This book fills the gap. Written on the traditional pattern of a county Flora, it gives detailed localities for all but the commonest species and discusses in greater detail than is usual in such works their ecology, wider geographical distribution and their variation.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e The flora region and its eight districts\u003cbr\u003e Geology and soils\u003cbr\u003e Climate\u003cbr\u003e Character of the flora\u003cbr\u003e Notes on some of the habitats\u003cbr\u003e The vegetation since the last glaciation\u003cbr\u003e The history of our knowledge of the flora\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
