Justification for this claim is to be found in the 174 colour plates reproduced in this volume. As Dr L Bolus says in her Foreword: if these flowers become our fast friends, we shall often recognise their affinities and will have at least a bowing acquaintance with many of their relations - near and distant. Cythna Letty reveals to us in a mysterious way more beauty in the flower than we might otherwise have seen. HEAVY BOOK (1.9Kg), POSTAGE TO BE QUOTED. (DO'L-NY-AEW-22SBy).
