Atlas of the Netherlands Flora

Abstract

The Netherlands constitute the northwesterly portion of the North-West European lowlands. The land is largely flat (fig. 1), gradually descending to the north and west, the highest point being the Drielandenpunt (322,5 m above sea level) in the extreme southeast, the lowest the Alexander- polder (6.6 m below sea level) near Rotterdam. Natural runoff occurs primarily by means of the rivers Schelde, Meuse, Rhine and their various arms.
