Based on a 20-year survey organised by the Botanical Society of
Scotland, this is the most extensive and authoritative Flora of
Edinburgh and the Lothians to be published since 1927. In addition
to a complete Flora of vascular plants in the three Lothian
vice-counties, the book includes: *Specialist chapters on topics
ranging from fungi to ferns and from geology and climate to
ethnobotany. *A substantial Bryophyte Flora of Edinburgh and the
Lothians. *A discussion of land-use changes and the ecological and
phytogeographical indications from the survey. *A description of
the survey and details of the methods used in the compilation of
the Flora. *30 colour and black and white plates, nearly 400
distribution maps and other illustrations. The Lothians are rich in
diversity, from the moist uplands of the south to the dry, flat
lands of the north-east. Habitats range from seacoast to moorland,
from river and loch to woodland and meadow. In addition to this
variety, there is the impact of man as manifested by agriculture,
urbanisation, industry, and now climate change.Plant Life of
Edinburgh and the Lothians presents an up-to-date account of this
richness and will provide an essential basis for comparison with
the flora and vegetation of the future.
