Kiew, Ruth Begonias of Peninsular Malaysia , .983-812-086-3 NEW. Well illustrated, large 8vo, pp xii, 308, a very good copy in dustwrapper. [Profusely illustrated with colour photographs, line drawings, watercolours and habitat shots, this major work describes in great detail all 52 native species, as well as the two garden escapes. Thirteen new species and one variety are described for the first time. First and foremost, this book is written to interest the naturalist and gardener in the wealth of wild begonias that grow in rain forest but without sacrificing scientific accuracy. The profusion of photographs, watercolour paintings and botanical drawings, and the minimum use of technical jargon intend to make the book accessible to all. On the other hand, botanical rigour is maintained by provision of a key for identification, complete nomenclature and descriptions, and specimen lists. The book is comprehensive including all the 52 native species as well as two garden escapes. Twelve new species and one variety are described here for the first time.] (Book ref. 002965) £37.50 The payment methods accepted by the seller, Mike Park Ltd , are shown in the right-hand column. |
