The Trees of Great Britain and Ireland Vol. 4 [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Elwes in conjunction with the botanist Henry described every species of tree then grown outdoors in the British Isles, and recorded the finest specimens then to be seen. Henry's contribution to the book was unique insofar as he devised a system of identification based on leaves and twigs and on the position of buds to aid identification even in the absence of fruit and flowers. Most of these were visited and recorded personally, a process which caused Elwes to wear out two cars. In addition Elwes undertook numerous journeys abroad to study the trees in the wild, even visiting Chile to see Monkey Puzzle trees (Araucaria araucana). The work remains an invaluable source of information on trees and arboriculture.
