A new updated edition of the standard work on British plant identification with over 200 extra taxa included.
'Clive Stace has become a household name amongst British field
botanists since his first edition of this guise was published in
1991 and it is pleasing to see that an updated edition is on the
bookshelves so soon. The latest edition includes over 200 species
and sub-species and has greatly improved text quality … The
inclusion of additional line drawing … for the difficult groups
such as brambles is a major advantage for the serious botanist. The
further revision of alien and naturalised plants also helps to
remove any ambiguities relating to these plants … I would recommend
this new edition to any serious botanist.' Dave Garner, Scottish
Wildlife
'If you enjoyed using the first edition, it is well worth paying
for the upgrade.' Rodney Burton, The London Naturalist
'I can recommend it to everyone who looks for an outline of the
plant diversity in the British Isles, a quick tool for
identification of British plants and a model work for a synoptical
treatment covering floristic and taxonomic knowledge.' Zdenek
Kaplan, Flora Giobotanica
'To conclude, Stace's Flora is a mine of information, a model of
clarity and organization, and one that no serious Irish or British
botanist should be without.' Daniel L. Kelly, The Irish Naturalist
Journal
'The second edition of this remarkable and now indispensable Flora
of the vascular plants of the British Isles is much improved over
the 1991 edition … I regret this edition was unavailable when I
prepared my article 'Some desiderata to make Floras and other types
of works user (and reviewer) friendly', which compared 24 Floras.
Stace's would have ranked 'Among the very best of Floras'.' Rudolf
Schmid, University of California
