4to; original dark green cloth, lettered in gilt on spine and with gilt publisher's monogram to upper cover; dustwrapper; tinted top edge; pp. 352, incl. index; folding map of 'The Indigenous High Forest of South Africa'; plates, incl. colour; line drawings depicting leaves and fruit. Dustwrapper a little soiled, foxed and faded, with penned code to upper panel; spine panel worn at head, with tape residue to tail; tape marks, ink stamp and penned code to front free endpaper; edges somewhat browned; occasional fox spot. Good condition. 'South Africa possesses one of the most magnificent floras in the world, yet the tree life has gone comparatively unnoticed. This is the stranger when one considers what riches it contains, from the soft silver and the classic shape of the silver tree of the Cape to the baobab, that ancient and dramatic guardian of our northern boundary. . This is the first book to be published on the indigenous trees of South Africa as a whole. It is not a book for botanists only - although the botanical facts have been carefully checked. Rather it is a book for the layman and for all those with little knowledge of botany who are yet interested in South Africa's beautiful and varied tree life. One hundred and seventy trees are described in detail - their distribution, habit, foliage, flower, fruit, and timber properties, but, because trees have their own personalities as living things, their "characters", too, are outlined, where possible - their likes and dislikes, their idiosyncrasies, their uses, the legend and story that surround them.'.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Good in very good, protected dust jackets. Ex-library; usual stamps and markings. 4to. 11 1/4". Packed with illustrations, from photographs, sketches, diagrams, details, maps etc, full plate and within text. Generally in black and white. The definitive and most comprehensive work on Southern African trees, now scarce and unlikely to be reprinted. A.A. Balkema adopted the old fashioned method of publishing and selling the three volumes separately rather than all at once as would be the practice today. Consequently a number of buyers were not able to obtain complete sets of the standard edition at the time and much annoyance was caused by this.
