Our mountain plants never cease to fascinate with their ability to survive long winters or appear in the most inhospitable environments. Not infrequently, it is precisely an encounter with the flowers and greenery of the mountains that remains in the memory of a hike. The plant gallery in this book describes 200 both common and less common plants found in the Scandinavian mountain range. In addition to photographs and facts, there are extra aids to distinguish similar plants. Since most plants occur on both sides of the national border, the species names of the plants are also given in Norwegian. The book also provides basic knowledge about the different plant environments found in the mountains and how the mountain plants have adapted to endure low temperatures and strong winds. At the end of the book there is a color index to help you easily identify the plants you see along the path. The authors Eva Wallstam, Bo Stenson and Lisa Öberg have together created a colorful and inspiring flora that starts from the mountain hiker's perspective.
