Description:
American Orchid Society, 2022. 228, 270 col photos. 255x190mm. HB. NEW. . 2nd edition. The genus <i>Aerangis</i> is the focus of this spectacular book by Isobyl la Croix who spent many years studying African orchids in their native habitat.It features detailed descriptions of the 59 species, accounts of the terrain, climate and habitats in which they live, and cultivation advice. These orchids, which grow on branches and rocks in the forests of Africa and Madagascar, have long nectar-filled spurs that release a delicate scent at night attracting hawk moths. This feature, along with their often disproportionately large flowers, make them rewarding to grow and, given the right conditions, they will flower year after year.Many are threatened in their native habitat and home cultivation makes an important contribution to their long-term welfare. Beautiful photographs of the plants and essential botanical information make this a unique reference that will delight orchid lovers.. [9798985958003]

Description:
Basel: Schweighauser, 1838-1845. , 128 plates (126 hand-col). . PB. 16 parts (of 19), 8vo (208x125mm), unbound in orig. printed blue/brown wrappers (Heft 2 + 4 in brown wrappers, rest in blue), several covers detached, some wear; some pages unopened; light foxing to text, plates mostly clean. Very good set.. Text Latin and German. One of the rarest works on Coleoptera. Originally intended to be published in two volumes, each consisting of 10 Hefte (fascicules) (each with 8 plates and 8 leaves of descriptive text), however the final part of the second volume was never published. Of the 19 published Hefte, we offer here 16 (1-14, 17, 18), with 128 (of 152) mostly hand-coloured plates. Co-authored by two Swiss naturalists, Jonas David Labram (1785-1852), a botanical and entomological artist, and Ludwig Imhoff (1801-1868) a physician and zoologist. It is very unusual to find this work in its original state, with original parts in their printed wrappers. The 'Heft' numbers are hand written on each…
