This practical pocket field guide, published in association with the Wildlife Trusts, includes more than 180 herbs from Britain and Europe.

Each herb type is illustrated with accurate full-colour artworks that show details of the flowers and leaves, roots and bark where applicable, and growth habit. A concise written account covers culinary, medicinal and other uses, size, description, habitat and distribution. Many of these plants grow wild in Britain and other parts of Europe, and can also be cultivated in gardens or foraged. The guide additionally includes exotic but commonly used species such as Vanilla, Cloves, Cinnamon and Star-anise.

The easy-to-follow layouts and illustrations aid quick and precise identification, making this book an indispensable reference in the field as well as at home. It is compact enough to fit in the pocket, yet packed with essential information. To protect it against the elements in the field, the book is wrapped in a durable plastic wallet. Also included is a fold-out insert with at-a-glance illustrations showing herbs grouped by colour.
