I endorse Lee's view on 'Plant' - a good and interesting book, produced in association with Kew. It is not free from errors, though, so must be used cautiously. One that particularly jars is the use of Crocus sativa for Saffron Crocus (C. sativus is correct). I notice also an image of a drift of a white-flowered Erythronium captioned 'Erythronium grandiflorum Also known as the yellow avalanche lily...' Not much coordination between caption writing and image selection there! John Grimshaw Dr John M. Grimshaw Sycamore Cottage Colesbourne Nr Cheltenham Gloucestershire GL53 9NP Tel. 01242 870567
