Nine years after its first publication in 2008, this revised second edition omits 38 plant species that had disappeared, and their sites, yet adds 81 new species and many new sites. All maps have been updated, with three new ones added, showing flower-rich areas and new walks.

The Isle of Purbeck and its surroundings are, for their size, the richest area for wild flowers in Great Britain. This book is an essential companion for walks to see them in this beautiful region. It covers over 1200 species in over 5000 plant sites in public places, together with special flower-rich locations. These are assisted by maps, drawings and over 100 colour photographs of habitats and plants.
