This book discusses the remarkable plant diversity of the Maltese Archipelago. Despite its relatively small area and long-term human exploitation, many different plant communities occur in this territory. The book presents phytosociological investigations, together with taxonomical studies, which have been conducted over more than forty years, highlighting the unique features of this central Mediterranean insular ecosystem. It also describes the phytosociological role played by several narrow endemic or phytogeographically relevant taxa and introduces many phytocoenoses exclusively growing in the archipelago. The study integrates the palaeogeographic issues linked to the ancient and intriguing history of the different civilizations that succeeded on the islands for thousands of years. The book also focuses on the N2000 habitats.

The Maltese Islands are host to over 1000 species of wild flowering plants. Of these, over 800 are native, the rest being introduced, intentionally or accidentally, as a result of human intervention and running wild. This book illustrates nearly 300 of these species and describes many others. Users should be able to identify a significant number of plants they meet.

Flora of the Maltese Islands brings together the previous 4 volumes with minor additions. It describe over 730 species in full colour and contains over 1,500 colour photographs. The book can be regarded both as an informative one on plants and as a guide to the wild flora of the Maltese islands. Fourteen pages describe the endemic and sub-endemic flora in the introductory section. Other information includes about the habitats, flowers, leaves, the islands' geology, climate and soil, origins of the Maltese flora, how plants survive the dry season, how they disperse their seeds, pollination, fire and plants, and the water cycle. A flower-colour guide is also found. Flora of the Maltese Islands is not just another book on plants; it is a comprehensive book full of references and information on the wild plants of these islands in the central Mediterranean region.
