I can advise that a monograph of the genus Aeonium has just been published as a special issue of Piante Grasse, the journal of the Italian Cactus and Succulent Association (AIAS). There are two versions of the book, one in Italian and the other in English, both 225 pages long and with around 250 pictures.

You can have a look at the book on the website of AIAS (https://www.aias.info/the-genus-aeonium).

Spain and Portugal often offer digital version of books released few years ago.
That's the case here with the flora of Portugal in pocket book version.

TEESDALE'S SPECIAL FLORA by Dr Margaret Bradshaw MBE

I enjoyed this 288 pgs publication which brings to the fore the botanically unique Teesdale Assemblage. This area in the north Pennines of England has been a focus for botanists because of the range of plants to be found in such a small area. Dr Bradshaw, the 97 year old authoress, covers the area, geology, soils, weather, climate and the history of plant discovery in Teesdale (as well as issues relating to conservation and the saga of the Cow Green Reservoir which submerged a large area of plant interest). The bulk of the book comprises species' accounts illustrated photographically. Comprehensive references and web links are provided as well as details relating to the enterprising group/Trust  established by Dr Bradshaw to study, promote and conserve the assemblage.

The book is available for £12.95 at
https://www.summerfieldbooks.com/product/teesdales-special-flora-places-plants-and-people/
other stockists are available.

Here is the link to the Trust established by Dr Bradshaw

Here's a handy ebook which can be freely downloaded. Whilst it is not comprehensive it does have a simple, straightforward layout for each species covered with representative colour photographs, an identification key and a distribution map.

A useful addition for the beginner botanists in the British & Irish hills.

Also:  The Hidden World of Mosses by Dr Neil Bell.

    ISBN-10  191087745X
    ISBN-13  978-1910877456

Mosses and their relatives, liverworts and hornworts are often tiny and overlooked, but their importance is considerable - and many in Scotland are  very rare and special varieties.

Written by Dr Neil Bell, a bryologist at RBGE, The Hidden World of Mosses examines the wide variety of species found across the globe – there are nearly 20,000 known worldwide, with 1,000 in the UK alone – and the important functions they perform.
