This totally new and much needed work on the County's flora - published in association with the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust - is the first comprehensive study for nearly a century. Excluding the Isle of Wight, it contains over 1750 species of vascular plants including some non-indigenous speces as well as subspecies, varieties and hybrids. In addition, condensed accounts of the lichens (590 taxa) and bryophytes (459 taxa) - groups in which the county is particularly rich - have been contributed. The principal authors are all experienced Hampshire botanists with an intimate knowledge of its flora.
