Observing the plants of the forest floor - the flowers, ferns,
sedges and grasses - can be a vital way of understanding our
relationship with British woodland. They tell us stories about its
history and past management, and can be a visible sign of progress
when we get conservation right. For centuries, woodland plants have
also been part of our lives in practical ways as food and
medicines, and they have influenced our culture through poetry,
perfume and pub signs. In this insightful and original account,
Keith Kirby explores how woodland plants in Great Britain have come
to be where they are, coped with living in the shade of their
bigger relatives, and responded to threats in the form of storms,
fires, floods, the attentions of grazing herbivores and the effects
of the changing seasons. Along the way, the reader is introduced to
the work of important botanists who have walked the woods in the
past, collecting information on where plants occur and why.
In-depth profiles of some of our most important and popular ground
flora species provide extra detail and insight. Beautifully
illustrated, Woodland Flowers is a must for anyone who appreciates
and wants to learn more about British woodland and its plants.
