The Wild Flora of Kew Gardens: A Cumulative Checklist from 1759

This unique book details all plants that have ever been recorded growing in a wild state at Kew Gardens since its founding in 1759, revealing the extent to which the wild flora of the Kew estate and its periphery has changed over 250 years. Included are all species found growing wild, alien and native species that have escaped from cultivation, and all natives cultivated in formal beds or other plantings, present and historic, for which there is reliable documentation.

Nearly 2,000 plants are covered, accompanied by citations from the literature, herbarium specimen records, and many colour photographs.
