Damn, mine has only got 7 species, and its the only book I have on
wild
flowers

I've done a recount. I still make it 8, to wit, the following are in
the index:
Beaked
Bristly
French
Marsh
Northern
Rough
Smooth
Stinking
If you look them up in the body of the book, there are actually more
than 8 listed. Only 8 appear to have common names.
And to be honest, I haven't found "Smooth" named as such except in the
appendic of common names.
