The Kandy Flora de Alston, A.H.G - 1938

Yokohama: The Yokohama Phytosociological Society, 1979. ( IN ENGLISH AND GERMAN) Main book is a compilation of articles (mostly in English) in honor of Prof. Tüxen. 495 pages. A hardcover book with rubbed boards and bumped corners. The supplementary book "Abhängiges Heft zur Vegetation und Landschaft Japans" contains the maps and tables.

With marbled endpapers and signature of Miss Wilson and the number 14 to one of the preliminaries. Internally the book is very clean and bright.
