Choosing this book

Who this edition suits

Best for: A visitor wanting a pocket introduction to Madeira plants.

The guide groups typical plants by habitat, a useful way to move between gardens, coast and laurel-forest walks.

Consider: A compact selection of 166 plants cannot replace a technical flora for difficult identifications.

This is selection guidance based on the listed edition and stated scope, not a claim of a first-hand test. Verify the edition before buying.
