Halliday, a staff member at the Royal Botanic Garden in Kew from 1947-1990, demonstrates the classification of this complex genus using reproductions of beautiful hand-colored engravings from William Curtis' Botanical Magazine (founded in 1787). Each of the 121 plates is accompanied by an account of that species' history, introduction into cultivation, distribution, habitat, and classification. Annotation c.
