Flora Europaea, published in five volumes over three decades, remains the definitive reference for the identification of ferns, conifers or flowering plants growing wild or widely cultivated in Europe.
'All botanists will welcome the continued rapid progress of the
Flora ... and we may all be pleased with the result.' Arthur
Cronquist, Quarterly Review of Biology
'Cette grande entreprise internationale se poursuit de la facon la
plus satisfaisante et la haute qualite de cet ouvrage de base, et
deja celebre, continue a s'affirmer. La Flora Europaea constitue un
monument de science et un exemple de collaboration internationale
qui ne savraient se voir assez loues.' J. L. Monod, La Terre et La
Vie
'Flora Europaea is a triumph of international organisation and
co-operation as well as a work of exceptionally high value and
importance.' The Naturalist
'Flora Europaea, by applying a beneficial taxonomic uniformity
within its area, will inevitably broaden the horizons of all those
who use it. It should lead to a new phase in European botany, and
will certainly provide a firm basis for further taxonomic research
for many years to come. One cannot but admire the consistency of
production in a work to which more than fifty botanists from all
over Europe have contributed. The layout, scope and terminology
show a uniformity throughout for which the editors must be
congratulated.' Nature
'One essential advantage of this work is that it elucidates the
taxonomic and geographical connections and graduations of taxa that
appear too much isolated in local floras. May it be used by many
people, and may its good progress continue.' Watsonia
