With the flowering season now coming on (in some parts of the country anyway!) I wondered if anyone would like to take a look at this. It is a little book for taking out in the field, as it is A6 and spiral bound, with totally weatherproof pages. The idea is to ID plants by finding the family first, so it is then much easier to consult a standard fieldguide like Rose or Collins by starting from their family keys. After a bit of introduction, there is a flowchart (sample – first pic) to 50 families which has been tested by many students and found to work in the vast majority of cases. Then (second pic) there are descriptions of 24 of the families – not every detail, but enough to give a general picture of the family characters. Anyway, if you are interested, you can see more about the Pocket Guide to Wildflower Families on link

Got it. It is charming and very useful, and ideal for carrying around.

I could do with something like this to at least point me in the right direction. Looks good. Thanks for the link Nige
