A little foxing. Very good to near-fine condition. "For sheer diversity the genus Erica is the most outstanding of all the many genera that make up the fynbos biome in the south-western and southern corner of South Africa. It numbers some 650 species, many of which are quite exquisite in the shape, colouring and delicacy of their flowers. Some are very rare, and others are on the point of extinction. Authors Dolf Schumann and Gerhard Kirsten have undertaken the major task of writing about and illustrating this vast array of plants with unstinting enthusiasm. With the help of professional botanist and a recognised expert on the erica family. E.G.H. Oliver, they have compiled some 450 species descriptions and illustrated each one with one or more superb colour photographs.".

This volume is number 1 presented to Fernwood Press (Pty) Ltd signed by the authors, Dolf Schumann and Gerhard Kirsten. 'By far the largest of the genera in the South African flora is Erica: with 657 species to its credit. This fact is all the more remarkable when one considers its distribution. People from Europe need no introduction to their heaths which can splash the countryside with pink. Apart from the true heather, Calluna, the genus Erica contributes only 21 species to the heath flora of Europe. The bulk of the species of Erica are confined to the southern tip of Africa in a concentration that is not equaled by any other plant group in the world. The array of colors and forms of ericas here in the southern Cape province is both remarkable and overwhelming. In the pages of this volume is a photographic record of more than 450 species of one genus, a remarkable feat for a flower book. This is the first time that so many species of Erica have been illustrated in a single work' (modified from the foreword, p. 9).
