2018013806Kota Kinabalu 2018. Very well illustrated large octavo pp 231 pictorial laminated boards a very good new copy in dustwrapper. This beautiful book describes 32 Schefflera taxa including 29 species from the Malaysian state of Sabah on the island of Borneo. Prior to this work only seven species of Schefflera in Sabah had published names and none had been described from the state in the last 100 years. Thus this treatment provides a long overdue contribution to our understanding of the genus in particular and the Sabah flora in general. Beyond including an enumeration of the species of Schefflera in Sabah introductory material on both the history and systematics of the genus and natural history of Sabah is provided. Numerous photographic images and line drawings are provided to illustrate the taxa and their distinguishing characteristics. In addition distribution maps document the occurrence of each species and variety. This account will be an invaluable addition to botanical libraries and aid to herbarium curators worldwide with an interest in Schefflera from Borneo. First Edition. Pictorial laminated boards.

2018013306Beckenham 2018. Tall quarto 224 pages pictorial boards a very good new copy. Published in an edition of just under one thousand copies and now out of print. The book celebrates the 500th Anniversary of the Royal College of Physicians and the 400th Anniversary of the Colleges "Pharmacopoea Londinensis" - the first pharmacopoeia to be mandatory for a whole country. This book contains specially commissioned paintings and drawings and late medieval woodcuts of nearly 200 plants growing in the Medicinal Garden of the College which were ingredients in the Colleges Pharmacopoea of 1618. Their contemporary uses are given from the publications of Nicholas Culpeper in 1649 and John Parkinson in 1640. The 17th century names of the 634 medicinal plants used in the Pharmacopoea have been painstakingly identified and listed with their modern botanical names - an invaluable resource for all interested in the history of plant-based medicine. The artists directory is included for all who seek commissions from them. Their work is a delight as are the earlier woodcuts from Fuchs Ruellius Matthiolus Dodoens Turner Lyte Gerard Parkinson Blackwell and Woodville. First Edition. Pictorial boards. New. Hardcover

20010007502001. Illustrated octavo pp xiv 570 a very good new copy in dustwrapper. The Kinabalu flora includes over 5000 species of vascular plants and is one of the most diverse if not the most diverse flora in the world. The primary objective of this project is to provide an inventory of all vascular plants in the flora of Mount Kinabalu. The Plants of Mount Kinabalu 4 enumerates the dicotyledon families Acanthaceae to Lythraceae roughly half of this major group. This fourth volume in the series contains sections on the historical aspects of plant collecting on Mount Kinabalu a biographical sketch of two of the most important collectors Mary Strong and Joseph Clemens an analysis of the collections elevational distribution of the dicotyledons a list of cultivated and introduced dicots enumeration of the species and indexes to numbered collections. Information is provided for each species on literature habit habitat elevation range and specimens upon which the study is based. These dicotyledons include 83 families 430 genera and about 1575 taxa. THIS BOOK WEIGHS OVER 1.5 KILOS UNPACKED. Please e-mail us for the revised shipping charge. First Edition. Cloth. New/New.

2005003502Royal Botanic Garden Kew 2005. Dicotyledon Families Magnoliaceae to Winteraceae. Illustrated thick 8vo pp xiv 609 dustwrapper a very good copy. VERY HEAVY - EXTRA POSTAGE MAY BE REQUIRED. All volumes should be available - please enquire. The principal objective of this project has been to provide an inventory of all vascular plants in the flora of Mount Kinabalu. This Volume 5 completes the inventory with an enumeration of the dicotyledons in families in alphabetical order from Magnoliaceae to Winteraceae. The other four volumes cover respectively the ferns and fern allies orchids gymnosperms and non-orchid monocotyledons and dicotyledons in families Acanthaceae to Lythraceae. The Kinabalu flora includes about 5000 species of vascular plants and is arguably one of the richest floras in the world on the basis of number of species on a per-unit-area basis. Additionally Mount Kinabalu has been a centre of extremely active plant evolution and speciation and presents an outstanding natural laboratory for studying these processes. This last volume in the series contains sections on historical aspects of plant collecting on Mount Kinabalu a biographical sketch of Hugh Low the first person to climb and collect plants on the mountain a sketch likewise of Elmer Drew Merrill who described more new species in the floras of Mount Kinabalu and Southeast Asia than any other person. Volume 5 is dedicated to these two individuals. Also included are analyses of the collections a discussion of ecological associations consideration of dicotyledon life-forms lists of cultivated and introduced dicotyledons consideration of phytogeographical relationships a review of classification of the dicotyledons and an index to numbered collections. The main part of the book enumerates 66 families 364 genera and 1399 species subspecies and varieties in dicotyledon families Magnoliaceae to Winteraceae known in the Kinabalu flora. Information is provided for each species on literature habit habitat elevation range and specimens upon which the study is based. About 24000 specimens representing this group of dicotyledons were examined. These were collected over a period of 150 years 18512000 by about 300 naturalists explorers botanists and local people and are the basis for virtually all the accumulated knowledge of the Mount Kinabalu flora. The book has involved the collaboration of 15 noted specialists in various plant groups. The last comprehensive works on the Kinabalu flora were Otto Stapfs monumental 1894 account On the Flora of Mount Kinabalu in North Borneo and Lilian Gibbss 1914 work A Contribution to the Flora and Plant Formations of Mount Kinabalu and the Highlands of British North Borneo. Stapfs paper listed only 172 taxa in the families covered by this volume. Thus the present work includes an eight-fold increase in taxa since Stapfs time and has the advantage of being based on more than a century of advances in knowledge of the flora and improvements in the scientific methodology for conducting such a study. The project has involved new and innovative procedures for carrrying out floristic inventories and is serving as a model for similar projects in other parts of the world. Specimens have been examined in some 30 different herbaria including all relevant specimens at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew the Natural History Museum London and the National Herbarium of the Netherlands Leiden Branch. Gibbs had about 360 collections available for the dicotyledons in this group in her account and Stapf had only about 236. In contrast the present study is based upon nearly 24000 specimen records representing over 14000 collections accumulated over the 150 years since Mount Kinabalu was first explored by Hugh Low in 1851.

2003014860Oxford University Press 2003. Illustrated with maps and charts octavo pp xii 266 paperback a very good copy virtually as new. No species occurs everywhere. Indeed the majority are absent from most places and where they do occur they are usually quite rare. Gaston discusses the structure of these distributions - the structure of the geographic ranges of species. Gaston is particularly concerned with the factors that determine the limits to a species' geographic range how the sizes of those ranges vary and patterns in that variation. Also considered are the distribution of individuals amongst those sites where a species does occur and what determines that distribution and some of the practical implications of all these. Both in a pure and applied context ecologists need a broader perspective on their subject matter than has historically prevailed. This book provides one such perspective. A must have book for any researchers and graduate students studying macroecology biogeography and conservation biology. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Oxford University Press Paperback

20190147112019. NEW. Illustrated quarto pp 216 paperback a very good new copy. PRINTING WAS LIMITED TO 100 COPIES. Guinea-Conakry has one of the highest plant diversities in Sub-Saharan West Africa and is part of the Upper Guinean Forest ecoregion Burgess et al 2004; WWF 2000 and the Guinean Forests of West Africa biodiversity hotspot CEPF 2015. This diversity is due in part to the highland ranges of the Fouta Djalon and Loma-Man and Nimba mountains. These high altitude forests and grasslands have resulted in endemic species and interesting distribution patterns. There are large areas of lowland forest in Guinée Forestière Forest Guinea and some areas in Guinée Maritime Coastal Guinea though most of these forests are highly fragmented and small less than 1 km2 the largest intact area is found around the Kounounkan massif in Forécariah Prefecture. Guinea is a major supplier of the worlds bauxite and has significant reserves of high grade iron ore it also has small reserves of diamonds gold and uranium. As a result large areas of open cast mining exist in the country and pressure on habitats and vegetation are increasing with the need to bring revenue into the country; this is in addition to unsustainable slash and burn agriculture and a growing population. Already 35 of Guinea's rarest plant species are possibly extinct and 25 of these species are or were globally unique to Guinea. First Edition. Paperback. New. Paperback
