A Manual of Saxifrages And Their Cultivation

Oregon: Timber Press, Incorporated. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1989. First Edition. Hardcover. 0881921300 . "This book is set to be the standard work on saxifrages, not only for the keen gardener, but also for the professional botanist, the botanically minded holiday maker and, indeed, for all plant enthusiasts. Well illustrated and highly authoritative, this book is based largely on a lifetime's study by Professor David Webb of Trinity College, Dublin and on the knowledge of the genus and its relatives gained by Dr. Richard Gornall during four years' residence in North America. Includes not only comprehensive descriptions and distribution maps of the European species, but also features short accounts of those which occur in Africa, Madeira and North America, as well as some of the more commonly encountered species from Asia. There are notes on cultivation of the plants, and an especially useful feature of the book is the guidance it provides on exactly where to see them growing in the wild." - dust jacket. viii, 307 pages.
