Wild Flowers of the Cape Peninsula – Kidd, Mary Maytham

Forward by J C Smuts. With no more than a knowledge of school botany and a desire to produce a book to guide beginners towards identifying the many wild flowers for themselves, the end result is a delightful book of our indigenous Cape flora. The colourful plates are, as far as possible, in months and localities, with the flowers found in flats, vleis, mountain tops and sand dunes on separate plates. 94 colour plates. Map on the front end paper. Light discolouration marks to the pages “Common Names Index at the rear”. A spot of foxing to the odd page with light foxing to the top edges. Contents clean and tightly bound. 1st Edition. Condition: Good+. Dust jacket: Good-. Card-wraps. Price clipped. Sunned. Some edge-wear and toning. Creasing to folds. Binding: Hardcover. Red cloth boards in very good condition.
