This is a corrected version of the edition from 1994.
From the preface of the first printing: This new workwill be invaluable to students of science, agriculturists and foresters as well as to residents and tourists in North Cyprus. However, it should also prove very useful in the South: the author's check-list for the North (grasses aside) runs to 1041 species and amounts, he calculates, to 77% of the island's equivalent total... For similar reasons the book will also deserve attention in neighbouring areas such as Turkey and the Greek Islands. (F. Nigel Hepper).
