About This Item
(London: Ward Lock Limited, 1988) 070636628X. 222 x 168 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 96, incl. index; diagrams; colour photographs. Wrappers a little rubbed. Very good condition. "Many thousands of people around the world have become involved with collecting and growing cacti and succulents. This is at the least a fascinating hobby and once infatuation has taken hold the wonder of it all rarely ceases to attract. ... Cacti and succulents are closely akin as both can withstand long periods of drought by storing water and nourishment in their stems, leaves and rootstock. They can therefore survive when most other plants would succumb. This book provides adequate guidance to identifying and understanding these plants." .
