By JOSE STEWART, Revised by H. E. CONNOR

This revised edition of Mrs Stewart’s Book, which was
first published in 1964, is a handy colourful guide to the

by their common names and each entry has a colour photograph identifying the poisonous part of the plant. The botanical name, a general description of the plant, the toxin, and the
symptoms of poisoning are also given. Plants that are toxic,
if eaten, and touch irritants are dealt with in separate sections.

A general instruction on what to do if poisoning occurs
or is suspected is featured prominently at the beginning of
