Beautiful, acclaimed and a bestseller. The Nordic flora is the indispensable standard work when it comes to describing all old and new plants in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Spitsbergen in vivid pictures and detailed text.
It is aimed at beginners and plant hunters, conservationists and ecologists. Illustrated by Bo Mossberg and written by Lennart Stenberg in close collaboration with the leading Nordic botanists of our time, Flora of the Nordics provides the reader with information about the plants' flowering time, frequency, ecology, typical plant locations, important characteristics and variations in the appearance of stems, leaves, flowers and fruits. Maps show the plants' current distribution. Even when the flora (then called The Nordic Flora) was published for the first time in 1992, it was a sensation! Nothing like it had previously been on the market, it was sold to all the Nordic countries and became the flora to own, use and give away to both professionals and the general public. Eleven years later, the flora was revised (this time with the name The New Nordic Flora) and expanded with 800 new species. The result – an even more beautiful and extensive flora. It has been reprinted countless times and the demand is still as great.
When it is now revised once more, it changes its name to Nordic flora. Much has happened in the botanical field that warrants an update, not least the recent decades of DNA research on the kinship between different plant families. In addition, the flora is further expanded with a number of new species (among others fiddleheads, irises, willows and mountain species). The Nordic flora contains all the vascular plants now known in the Nordics (over 3300 species).
