"The Plant Crib is intended to help experienced botanists identify some of the more difficult groups of plants in Britain & Ireland. It does not cover the critical taxa Rubus, Taraxacum and Hieracium in any detail, but it does include many species and hybrids more fully than you are likely to encounter elsewhere.

As part of a process to update the Plant Crib, Tim Rich has digitised the original book and made it available here as a series of pdf downloads. It is intended that these accounts will be extended and improved over the next few years. You are welcome to download these accounts for personal use, but please note that they are still copyright and may not be printed and sold or used for commercial purposes without the permission of the authors." from the BSBI Web Site.
