Flowers of Iberian Peninsula

Can anybody recommend a good, modern field guide to the flowers of the
Iberian peninsula?

I've just returned from holiday in the Sierra Aracena, NW of Seville -
the wild flowers where spectacular but most aren't in NW Europe or
Alpine guides I already have.

I do have a copy of "Flowers of the Mediterranean", Polunin & Huxley but
that was published in 1965 but it is neither up to the standard of
modern guides nor is it sufficiently comprehensive.

Had a similar hunt earlier when a friend moved to Portugal: haven't
any experience of these books but there is a proper many volumed flora
Iberica, and some more general books listed on the BSBI books
supplier's site:

Depends on the size and depth of your pocket/rucksack I suppose!
