Guide expert des Plantes de Méditerrannée des Albères à la Riviera. 2025. illus. (col.). ca. 1072 p. Paper bd.- In French.

Following the highly acclaimed publication of ‘Plantes de Montagne’ in 2022, authors Franck Le Driant and Lionel Ferrus present the plants of the Mediterranean in this new book. The formula that made the first title such a success is repeated in this book: a virtually exhaustive presentation of the plants found in the Mediterranean region of continental France (1900 taxa), a rich and remarkably well-presented iconography, and practical information for identifying species. All lovers of plants and nature will appreciate this book, which will help them to discover and identify the plants of the Midi.

Benefiting from the mild winters, Mediterranean flora comes to life in early spring, offering botanists a spectacle of rare intensity. For this reason, the south of France is very popular with naturalists, who come from all over Europe every spring to discover this wealth of flowers.

Mediterranean plants are also highly symbolic, often associated with intense scents, and the maquis and garrigues, with their aromatic plants such as rosemary, sage, thyme and lavender, are deeply rooted in our imagination.
