Photographic identification guide to seaweeds of Britain and Ireland for the non-specialist

This volume offers an in-depth exploration of British and northern Atlantic red algae, synthesized from extensive research by the British Phycological Society and The Natural History Museum. It includes detailed descriptions of sub-classes, orders, families, genera, and species, along with ecological and distribution notes. Each species is illustrated with half-tones highlighting distinctive features, and user-friendly keys facilitate identification. A comprehensive introduction and a complete re-evaluation of the British Isles taxa, particularly the Porphyra species, are notable highlights.
