Field Guide to the Plants of the Falkland Islands

About this book

Field Guide to the Plants of the Falkland Islands is the output from a collaboration between scientists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and Falklands Conservation, who have been working together for many years. With recent additions to the flora, there are now 181 vascular plant species recorded as native to the Islands, including one natural hybrid, as well as 14 vascular plant species that are endemic to the Falklands and therefore found nowhere else. This new comprehensive feld guide covers over 300 species, including both native and non-native, from 14 broad habitat types.
