Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the study and classification of fungi. It is part of a larger series on cryptogamous plants which discusses their reproductive organs and the way in which they grow. The author's arrangement of 40 groups of fungi is based on their sensible qualities such as the presence or absence of a stem and gills. The author also notes that many fungi can be used in dyeing, in medicine, and as food, while others are parasitical and can cause disease in both plants and animals. This book is important in that it is one of the earliest works on fungi, contains many original observations and is well-illustrated. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an illustrated guide to 150 species of fungi native to the British Isles, most of which exist in or near human habitations. The author, a celebrated botanist and mycologist, wrote this book as supplemental reading to other field guides that mostly focus on edible or poisonous fungi. This guidebook aids in the identification of these lesser-known fungi, including their characteristics, habitat, and the time of year they appear. The text presents microscopic details of the fungi's anatomy, enabling the reader to differentiate each species. The book also discusses the broader scientific context of fungi, provides insight into their relationship with other organisms, and explains their role in the ecosystem. Additionally, the author proposes a new genus, Cribraria, based on the structure of their seed capsules. Overall, this book deepens the reader's understanding and appreciation of the often-overlooked but fascinating world of fungi. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Robert K Greville (illustratore). 1st Edition. A very good copy in 6 volumes dating from 1823-1828, with 360 hand coloured plates. Robert Kaye Greville, 1794-1866, had medical training but an assured income allowed him to choose a more diverse life in science and art, and in his public work - where he became a leading voice against slavery. He published his Scottish Cryptogamic Flora in monthly parts, intending it to complete the catalogue of flora in Smith and Sowerby's English Botany. He drew all the specimens himself and these drawings together with the detailed text, form a comprehensive picture of the scottish cryptogamic flora as it was in the early nineteenth century. This copy is in contemporary marbled boards with cloth spines that have been rebacked and had new title labels. The binding is possibly a publisher's one. The boards have general wear but the bindings are sound. New endpapers have been added. Each volume has a half title and title page, text (numbered on recto only) and 60 plates, and index. Vol I has a dedication and advertisement; Vol IV has an index to the first 4 volumes; and Vol VI has a synopsis and full index (82pp) at the end of the volume. There is a bill of sale from Wheldon and Wesley dated 1986 loose in Vol VI. The contents are in very good clean condition with beautifully coloured plates. There are no tissue-guards so there is offsetting from strongly coloured images to the text and slight offsetting of text to a few plates in Vol II. Occasional slgiht darkening to top margin in Vol IV.
