1837réf. 023181London Edinburgh & Glasgow: Longman Orme Brown Green and Longman; Leyland and Son; Adam & Charles Black; John Smith & Sons 1837. Octavo pp viiiiii 354 age-toned and a little used edges untrimmed light staining to the top margins throughout slightly heavier staining to the early pages at the lower inner margins errata slip loosely inserted at page 1 recently bound in a dark green pebble cloth a paper title label on the spine. This copy has numerous ephemera insertions pasted in: four nespaper cuttings five publisher's advertisements including one for the rare fern book by Jane Patison and two publisher's catalogues from William Pamplin. There are two early inscriptions on the title page - 'Royal Botanic Garden Library. Presented by Mr Thos Walker Carluke' and 'Withdrawn Oct 1888. Isaac Bayley Balfour Keeper'; so it was originally presented to RBGEdinburgh but Balfour disposed of it presumably as it was a duplicate. The work is extremely rare. A further volume was planned but never published due to the death of the author; but printed partial copies DO exist. The catalogue of RBG Kew states that five copies are known. Stafleu has an extensive note regarding this and for taxonomc purposes it seems to be a matter of semantics as to whether the extant copies are "published" or not !. First Edition. Cloth. Good.

"First published in 1925 Willis Linn Jepson's "Manual of the Flowering Plants of California" has been a standard reference for teachers students and naturalists. Since that time hundreds of new species have been identified and botanical investigation has become more sophisticated. Now Jepson's philosophy of making such information available to all is again realized in this new volume which includes a wealth of material accumulated over the past decades. With contributions from two hundred botanists across North America this is the most comprehensive resource and identification guide to nearly eight thousand varieties of native and naturalized California plants. The means to identify plants using key traits and illustrations is accompanied by special information such as horticultural requirements endangerment toxicity weed status and notes on the management of sensitive species. Identification keys have been designed for ease of use and terms have been simplified and illustrated making the new "Manual" the most authoritative field guide for the expert and amateur alike.".

The remove Salvage Islands have a smaller but equally interesting flora. Flora provides descriptions and keys for taxa at all levels as well as information on habitats distributions and flowering times. Local names are also cited. Fifty-seven plates of original drawings illustrate 212 of the Madeiran and Macaronesian endemic taxa some of them depicted for the first time. Introductory chapters describe the geography of the islands the main vegetation types and the extensive measures being implemented to conserve this unique flora. Flora of the Madeira is the only fully comprehensive publication on the wild flora of the Madeiran and Salvage Islands for use as both a reference work and a field guide.". First Edition. Paperback.
