A comprehensive and accessible field guide to the Canary Islands flowers, including a visual guide to flora hotspots to visit.

Situated in the North Atlantic off the coast of northwestern Africa, the Canary Islands are a volcanic archipelago, comprising seven large and several smaller islands. The region attracts millions of visitors every year, with an abundance of ecotourists drawn by its famously rich flora. This book presents previously inaccessible information on the islands through the collaboration of British scientists and local experts.

This long-awaited field guide covers more than two thousand of the region’s exceptionally diverse and important plants, from the most common species to local endemics. Illustrated throughout with color photographs, each species profile includes nomenclature, description, dimensions, habitat, flowering times, and distribution.

With comprehensive, up-to-date coverage sorted by habitat, this is the essential guide for students, professional botanists, scientists, gardeners, and plant enthusiasts alike.
