Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by a great mind of the day, explores the insights gleaned from a series of voyages where the author was fascinated by the natural world he confronted. The work is significant for the attention given to the plant world, with discussions occupying a fair share of the narrative. The author draws attention to striking phenomena witnessed first-hand and recorded by fellow horticulturists, that challenge current understandings of the natural world, the adaptation of plants, and the transmission of qualities.
