This beautifully illustrated mini field guide is packed with
information on the most common herbs from around the world. Many of
these plants grow wild in Britain and other parts of Europe, and
can also be cultivated in gardens. The guide additionally includes
exotic but commonly used species such as Vanilla, Cloves, Cinnamon
and Star-anise. More than 180 herbs are included, all of which are
illustrated with superb full-colour artworks that show details of
the flowers and leaves, roots and bark where applicable, and growth
habit of each plant. A concise written account covering culinary,
medicinal and other uses, size, description, habitat and
distribution appears on the same page. The easy-to-follow layouts
and superb artworks aid quick and accurate identification, making
this book an indispensable reference in the field as well as at
home. It is compact enough to fit in the pocket, yet packed with
essential information. To protect it against the elements in the
field, the book is wrapped in a durable plastic wallet. Also
included is a fold-out insert with at-a-glance illustrations
showing herbs grouped by colour. Renowned natural history artists
Christine Hart-Davis, Bridgette James and David Sutton painted the
illustrations.
