Plantas Silvestres de Madrid: Clave de Identificacion Mediante Fotografias. 2019. illus. 226 p. - In Spanish.
A field guide to plants whose purpose is to facilitate their identification for students and enthusiasts. It is essentially a dichotomous key reinforced by a large collection of photographs, thus avoiding the use of highly specialized technical terminology. 692 species are illustrated, out of a total of 809 mentioned in the text. With these figures, the guide aims to cover most of the vascular plants found in an area of Madrid extending from the foothills of the mountain sierra to the plains of the Jarama river valley, many of which are common throughout the Iberian Peninsula. The book provides an engaging instrument for helping to learn about and enjoy the plants that surround us. -
