Publisher Description:
This totally new and much needed work on the County's flora - published in association with the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust - is the first comprehensive study for nearly a century.
Excluding the Isle of Wight, it contains over 1750 species of vascular plants including some non-indigenous speces as well as subspecies, varieties and hybrids. In addition, condensed accounts of the lichens (590 taxa) and bryophytes (459 taxa) - groups in which the county is particularly rich - have been contributed by Francis Rose with Ken Sandell and Alan Crundwell respectively.
As in Townsend's Flora of Hampshire (1884), there are introductory chapters on Structure and Geology; Climate; Habitats; and an up-to-date Comparison of Hampshire's Flora with some other southern Counties (including the Isle of Wight) - all by Francis Rose. There are also chapters on Conservation of the Flora (with a complete list of nature reserves) by Peter Brough and Paul Bowman; Some earlier Workers on the Hampshire Flora by David Allen; and Botanical Recording by Paul Bowman. The Flora ends with an extensive Bibliography and References and a fully comprehensive Index.
The principal authors are all experienced Hampshire botanists with an intimate knowledge of its flora.
