British alpine hawkweeds
A monograph of British Hieracium section Alpina

David Tennant & Tim Rich

Alpine hawkweeds, Hieracium section Alpina, are a delightful group of yellow-flowered plants of the mountains of England, Scotland and Wales.  They form one the most taxonomically difficult groups in Britain, and the majority are rare and threatened.  This fully-illustrated monograph provides the first detailed identification guide to the 34 species, and summarises the information known about them.  It is the result of over 30 years work by David Tennant and co-workers, and is lavishly illustrated with numerous colour photographs and line drawings, and with five paintings by Raymond Booth.
	The contents include a general introduction with the history, distribution, ecology, evolution, cultivation and conservation of section Alpina.  The characters used to identify them are described in full.  Keys and notes are given to separate the taxa from each other and related species.  Each of the 34 species and their infraspecific taxa are treated in full with synonymy, a diagnostic description, accounts of their distribution and a map, habitats, conservation, taxonomy and separation from the most similar species.  There is a gazetteer and an index.  An example species account is give below (reduced size and not in colour).
	The monograph will be 232 pages in length with 178 illustrations/maps and many colour photographs.  It is A4 in size, and will be available in hardback or softback.  It will be published in Winter 2007.
