A trailblazing new publication that shows Birmingham and the Black Country's incredible diversity of plant life, with the number of species found representing nearly half of the flora found in the UK.
Written by local experts Ian Trueman, Mike Poulton and Paul Reade, who for many years led a team of volunteers recording plants in every part of our conurbation. The result is an exceptional blend of detailed plant recording and a far-sighted model for the future of nature conservation in towns and cities. It also includes a description of one species in Black Country dialect!
