.. identifying plants - does anyone know of one?

The kind of thing I have in mind is one that has *lots* of photos, of
leaves, flowers (if applicable) and fruit (if applicable) and maybe an
approach like identifying a plant by it's flower, starting with the colour
perhaps.

One for trees would be good too.

RHS Encyclopaedia of Plants & Flowers - expensive to buy so best got as
part of an introductory package with a book club. It has exactly what
you want.

and sometimes on sale in remainder bookshops.

On the back cover of May 2004 BBC Gardeners World there is a book club
offering 6 RHS books including RHS Encyclopaedia of Plants & Flowers
for about UKP30 including p&p as an introductory offer.
