| Product Description |
| Illustrations by John Curtis, Sydenham Edwards, Walter Hood Fitch, Joseph Dalton Hooker, Christabel King, Mary Mendum, Valerie Price, Rodella Purves, Stella Ross-Craig, Matilda Smith, Lilian Snelling, Margaret Stones, Wendy Walsh, and Ann Webster. In this volume, the author has set out to demonstrate the classification of the genus Rhododendron as proposed by the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, using as a medium the beautiful illustrations from Curtis's Botanical Magazine. There are 121 plates, representing all of the subgenera, sections, and series within this complex genus. The text provides an interesting account of the introduction of the illustrated species into cultivation, its history, distribution, habitat, relationships with other species, and its classification. |
