Descripción:
London : Orr and Smith , 1835 A nice copy of this rare work. It originated as an article for the British Cyclopaedia of Natural History, and was enlarged for separate publication to give readers a systematic introduction to the science of Botany. In original pebbled brown cloth with gilt title on spine, and gilt edges to pages. Profusely illustrated with line drawings and with hand coloured plates. The binding is in good condition - the spine has been relaid at some point and corners and spine edges have been repaired so the book is tight and firm. 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. The index of illustrations is difficult to interpret as it does not distinguish between text illustrations and plates and appears to randomly list some text illustrations and not others - however, I think the book is lacking a colour plate frontispiece and 2 other plates giving 24 plates present of a possible 27.…

Royal Botanic Garden Kew, 2005. Dicotyledon Families Magnoliaceae to Winteraceae. Illustrated, thick 8vo, pp xiv, 609, dustwrapper, a very good copy. VERY HEAVY - EXTRA POSTAGE MAY BE REQUIRED. All volumes should be available - please enquire. [The principal objective of this project has been to provide an inventory of all vascular plants in the flora of Mount Kinabalu. This Volume 5 completes the inventory with an enumeration of the dicotyledons in families in alphabetical order from Magnoliaceae to Winteraceae. The other four volumes cover, respectively, the ferns and fern allies, orchids, gymnosperms and non-orchid monocotyledons, and dicotyledons in families Acanthaceae to Lythraceae. The Kinabalu flora includes about 5,000 species of vascular plants, and is arguably one of the richest floras in the world on the basis of number of species on a per-unit-area basis. Additionally, Mount Kinabalu has been a centre of extremely active plant evolution and speciation and presents an outstanding natural laboratory for studying these processes. This last volume in the series contains sections on historical aspects of plant collecting on Mount Kinabalu, a biographical sketch of Hugh Low, the first person to climb and collect plants on the mountain, a sketch likewise of Elmer Drew Merrill, who described more new species in the floras of Mount Kinabalu and Southeast Asia than any other person. Volume 5 is dedicated to these two individuals. Also included are analyses of the collections, a discussion of ecological associations, consideration of dicotyledon life-forms, lists of cultivated and introduced dicotyledons, consideration of phytogeographical relationships, a review of classification of the dicotyledons, and an index to numbered collections. The main part of the book enumerates 66 families, 364 genera, and 1399 species, subspecies and varieties in dicotyledon families Magnoliaceae to Winteraceae known in the Kinabalu flora. Information is provided for each species on literature, habit, habitat, elevation range, and specimens upon which the study is based. About 24,000 specimens representing this group of dicotyledons were examined. These were collected over a period of 150 years (18512000) by about 300 naturalists, explorers, botanists and local people, and are the basis for virtually all the accumulated knowledge of the Mount Kinabalu flora. The book has involved the collaboration of 15 noted specialists in various plant groups. The last comprehensive works on the Kinabalu flora were Otto Stapfs monumental 1894 account, On the Flora of Mount Kinabalu, in North Borneo and Lilian Gibbss 1914 work, A Contribution to the Flora and Plant Formations of Mount Kinabalu and the Highlands of British North Borneo. Stapfs paper listed only 172 taxa in the families covered by this volume. Thus the present work includes an eight-fold increase in taxa since Stapfs time, and has the advantage of being based on more than a century of advances in knowledge of the flora and improvements in the scientific methodology for conducting such a study. The project has involved new and innovative procedures for carrrying out floristic inventories, and is serving as a model for similar projects in other parts of the world. Specimens have been examined in some 30 different herbaria, including all relevant specimens at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the Natural History Museum, London, and the National Herbarium of the Netherlands, Leiden Branch. Gibbs had about 360 collections available for the dicotyledons in this group in her account, and Stapf had only about 236. In contrast, the present study is based upon nearly 24,000 specimen records representing over 14,000 collections accumulated over the 150 years since Mount Kinabalu was first explored by Hugh Low in 1851..

Melbourne: Oxford University Press Australia, October 1988. Hardcover. First Edition. Near Fine book in a Very Good jacket. Interior pristine. Spine straight and tight. Upper corners lightly bumped. Jacket lightly rubbed with a single one inch tear to front bottom edge. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. xiii + 347 pages. Over 300 illustrations. Heavy book: extra charges for expedited or international shipping. Captain Nicolas Baudin's early 19th-century voyage of scientific discovery to Australia is a little-known event in French and Australian history. Yet that voyage played an important part in the history of Australian and Pacific colonization, and in the long story of worldwide scientific exploration. Departing Le Havre in 1800, Baudin's expedition comprised two ships--the Naturaliste and the Géographe--and 238 men, including 22 scientists. For most of the next three-and-a half years they travelled along the western and southern coasts of Australia, charting the coastline and…
