About the book >.>.> Whereas most plant monographs of this type are concerned with a single genus or family I am here attempting to deal with a whole Class the Filicopsida or ferns plus some others from the division Pteridophyta. This means that I can cover only a tiny selected sample of the enormous diversity that would be possible with unlimited space. The sampling is slanted almost entirely towards medium-sized ferns hardy in the British Isles and suited to growing in the garden. However I shall not restrain myself entirely from alluding to a far wider range of these excitingly different plants in the hope that you will be sufficiently inspired to research further. To this end I have included a list of further reading not least because the literature on ferns is rich and fascinating in its own right and will well reward any interest given to it. (LL)
