Flora of Britain and Europe


Click on one of the family names below to go to the relevant image library catalogue

The images in this catalogue are organised according to flowering plant families, based on the arrangement in Flora Europaea. If you are looking for images of a particular species, and know the family it belongs to, click on the appropriate family link below, and you will be taken to a catalogue of species within that family, organised alphabetically.  If you don't know the family, go to the SEARCH PAGE HERE, and search for the species (use the scientific name if you can, because some species have many common names, or have no commonly used English name).

Note that we only have images available online at the moment for families that are hot-linked in the list below, but we will be uploading many more images in due course. Families in italics in the list below are largely insignificant in the European flora. Those marked with a * are not native in Europe.

If you are unfamiliar with the scientific names of flowering plant families, there's a PDF file of the families with their English families names that you can download here..
