Abstract
THE appearance of a modern flora of Iceland and the F ¦roes in English will be much appreciated by tourists and also by those botanists who are interested in boreal and arctic floras but cannot read Danish or Icelandic. The text follows Engler and Prantl's system of classification and is of the descriptive key type, there being a general key to groups and families at the beginning. Many distinctive genera and even species are keyed out at this stage, a fact which may often save a great deal of the user's time. There are further keys to the species under each genus, providing a sufficient description of each species, together with information as to habitat, localities in each island group, time of flowering, etc.
