I don't know if it is still in print, but the one that they used when I was at Kew was.
The Wild Flowers of Britain and Norhern Europe
Richard Fitter, Alastair Fitter and Marjorie Blamey.

Must go investigate

Back already ;D Yes they still have it at Amazon, and one of just the British Isles.

I have a 25 year old Readers Digest Wildflowers book and I love it - there are photographs and paintings: www.amazon.co.uk/Flowers-Britain-Nature-Lovers-Library/dp/0276425065/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1198225266&sr=1-16

My mum has this book: www.amazon.co.uk/Cassells-Flowers-Britain-Northern-Europe/dp/030436214X/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1198225130&sr=1-17

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing which stands in the way... (William Blake)
