Crisp, clean and bright inside and out inside a lightly bumped and very lightly soiled DJ. This copy came from the library of notable botanist and author Mary Briggs and includes correspondence between her and L. Yeou-ruenn of the South China Institute of Botany as well as a draft of Briggs’ professional review of the book, which concludes: ‘In this fascinating work I would suggest that the author’s belief that “every lover of plants and their ways will be at once enthralled at any section of the book” is admirably justified’.
