Description
"Some plants are inherently rare, while others become rare through our actions."
Rare Plants explores what makes the world's most uncommon plants so exceptional, and by what means they have become so scarce. From highlands to jungles, many of our most extraordinary plants are vanishing at shocking rates, and this exquisitely illustrated book explores 40 of these mysterious species.
Featuring stunning archive images and expert insight from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Rare Plants explores both the beauty and necessity of our endangered plant life.
