  • Every flowering plant presented with a colour photograph, distribution map and details of its ecology and status
  • Essonne is the French departement immediately to the south of Paris
  • Transparent overlays are provided for the distribution maps, showing every commune (parish): the mapping unit for the atlas
  • A suberb introduction to the geology, geography and landscapes of the region
  • Full colour geology, "Zones ZNIEFF" (SSSIs), sensitive habitats, agricultural use of land and many more
  • This book should be required reading for anyone involved in botanical survey work in Britain as well as France
