Dear colleagues and friends, (sorry for cross-postings)
You, or some of your naturalist friends may be interested by the book FLOWERS OF GREECE written by Tristan Lafranchis and George Sfikas.
This 2 volume field guide published in May 2009 is beautifully and generously illustrated with 3,500 colour photos.
Text and photo are on the same double-page and describe more than 78% of Greek plants (more are found on the DVD). Descriptions emphasize the distinctive features, the most important being in italic. Large general groups have been divided into smaller units in order to assist identification. Information on the habitats, the location in Greece and the flowering time are also given.
The DVD-rom offers the chance to present more than 13,000 photos, giving justice to the wonderful diversity of Greek flora and the large range of variation of many plants. Several slide-shows are presented to introduce the reader to several of the Greek " botanical paradises ".
It has been extremely well reviewed:
