Book Description

The botanist Richard Spruce (1817–93) spent fifteen years travelling in South America, studying and collecting numerous plant specimens. His narrative of this endeavour was edited as a labour of love by his fellow naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace (1823–1913) and published posthumously in two volumes in 1908.
