For centuries, botanists have been drawn to the rarest species,
sometimes with dire consequences for the species' survival. In this
book, Great Britain's rarest flowering plants are discussed in
turn, including the stories behind their discovery, the reasons for
their rarity, and the work being done to save them from dying out.
It is hoped that it will help to throw light on some of the species
that normally gain little attention, and foster an appreciation of
our most threatened plants. This guide describes 66 native species
of plants that have the most narrowly restricted ranges in Great
Britain. These range from continental, warmth-loving species in the
south of England to those found only on the highest Scottish
mountains. Each species is shown together with its habitat to allow
the reader to better understand the ecological context. Other
scarce plants in the same area are indicated.
