The bestselling FLORA OF THE CRETAN AREA by Nick Turland & Lance Chilton was published by London's Natural History Museum/HMSO in 1993.
The follow-up FLORA OF CRETE: A SUPPLEMENT was published in 1997. This 172-page paperback updated the information, covering Crete and Karpathos, and included many new records for the area, as well as taxonomic, nomenclatural, floristic and distributional changes. There were 282 new distribution maps, including many for species not previously mapped. Flora of Crete: a Supplement is now out of print. See OPTIMA review.
Extensive subsequent changes have been published online at FCS 2008.
