4to; original dark green cloth, lettered in gilt on spine and with gilt publisher's monogram to upper cover; dustwrapper; tinted top edge; pp. 352, incl. index; folding map of 'The Indigenous High Forest of South Africa'; plates, incl. colour; line drawings depicting leaves and fruit. Dustwrapper a little soiled, foxed and faded, with penned code to upper panel; spine panel worn at head, with tape residue to tail; tape marks, ink stamp and penned code to front free endpaper; edges somewhat browned; occasional fox spot. Good condition. 'South Africa possesses one of the most magnificent floras in the world, yet the tree life has gone comparatively unnoticed.
