Collenette, Sheila -  Wildflowers of Saudi Arabia
The first book from the author was larger than most, but the following positively dwarfs it! Arranged by family, 2250 species are given concise descriptions and illustrated with a colour photo. I believe that most of the limited print run were complimentary copies, with only a small proportion available for sale so it has quickly become a very scarce book. 1999 12 x 9 800 pages
