Condition: Good. Revised Edition, First Printing. Description: Family index printed on the insides of the covers. This work was originally published in 1961 in the Wasmann Journal of Biology; and has been extensively revised for this 1995 edition. The revisions include several major changes in format; the plant divisions have been somewhat rearranged. Within each of the major divisions an alphabetical arrangement of families, genera and species has been followed to make the flora self-indexing. The keys have also been rearranged to fall at the beginning of each group of plants. The original flora included some plants collected from as far as five miles from the boundaries of the park. For this edition, a more restricted area was used. Please note: this is NOT a field guide -- at least not in the typical sense. There are no illustrations. BINDING/CONDITION: paperbound with a metal comb binding; one corner creased; Good condition. references, index. 8vo (8.5 inches tall). 216 pages. Paper covers; metal comb binding.
