Plants of New Zealand

Whitcombe and Tombs, Wellington. Fourth edition in good condition without dust jacket. Previous owner name inside, some foxing.
This comprehensive account of plant life in New Zealand is scientifically accurate yet not too technical to be difficult for the general reader.
Previous editions of 'Laing and Blackwell' have enjoyed a wide sale not only because the book has met the needs of botanists, teachers and students, but because the wealth of legendary material given in describing many native species has appealed to plant-lovers everywhere.
Dr E. J, Godley, Director of the Botany Division, D.S.I. R, Christchurch, has revised the whole text of this seventh edition, paying particular attention to the scientific names of the plants and bringing these up to date.
Well illustrated with black and white photographs and eight colour plates.
