Wild Flowers of Crete

Description:

Over 10% of Greek flora is endemic and not to be found anywhere else in the world. Highlighting around 500 representative species, near one third of the Cretan flora, the author described their botanical characteristics, adding etymological and mythological references. Arramged by family, each species has a colour photograph of the plant in its natural habitat, plus a very useful close-up of the flower set against a white background, to help with identification
