8vo, III, 454pp Dark olive green (not fawn) cloth covered hardcover in very good condition with minor scuffing at both ends of an otherwise very firm spine with no d/w, text and b/w photographic plates are in an excellent state printed on quality glossy paper devoid of any foxing or extraneous marks, other than a neat prior owner bookplate adhered to the front paste-down.

In this book an endeavour has been made to give an account of the native plants that would be intelligible to all. Surprisingly therefore, it is a rare publication throughout the world, while still generally selling at a reasonably accessible pricepoint
