There are almost 70 known species all of which have their own attractive qualities appealing to growers but many species are rare in the wild. Recent evidence has been synthesized to produce a modern classification of the genus. Chapters on the hybridization cultivation by Michael Tibbes and conservation are also included. This treatment is a framework for future research as well as a sound guide to growers of these endlessly fascinating orchids. N.B. Book is very heavy !

1793039192Stephen Couchman 1793. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Royal 8vo. The Botanical Magazine which in 1801 became Curtis's Botanical Magazine is generally recognised as being the most important journal of its kind and still published today. Magnificent illustrations and beauty of production are combined with a high standard of science. This is probably the most comprehensive set ever offered either through the trade or at auction: the first 200 volumes 1793 - 1999 missing just three volumes - nos. 123 124 & 125 1897-1899. Additionally the two Companion volumes dated 1835-1836 are present plus the Dedications volume and various index volumes as documented below. In the main series a total of c. 9380 superb hand-coloured plates plus c. 125 etched or lithographic uncoloured plates plus c. 1265 colour-printed plates a total of c. 10770 plates. The majority of this collection handsomely bound in more or less matching contemporary full straight-grained green morocco extra gilt decoration to the spines all edges richly gilt marbled end papers. These volumes originally from the Library of Henry Rogers Broughton 2nd Baron Fairhaven the earlier volumes in turn from Havringland Hall Norfolk seat of the Fellows family with the Haverland armorial bookplate the later volumes with the Broughton bookplate. Volumes bound thus 1-69 71-88 97-105 108-122 127-131 156-163 the later ones bound by C. Fox W.1 of London. Otherwise vol. 70 bound in half brown Morocco also by Fox; vols. 89-96 106-107 & 126 in the publisher's green cloth; vols 132 & 133 in brown cloth to match; vols. 134-155 vols 138-146 & 148-155 with the armorial bookplate of George Walter Erskine Lodder & 164-184 in the publisher's brown cloth or brown cloth to match some with the bookplate of William Jocelyn Lewis Palmer or David Jamison.

Vol. 1 with an engraved frontispiece portrait of W. Curtis this was not present in the first edition and is different from that which appears in the 1828 "General Index". Vols. 132 & 133 1906 -1907 are uncoloured 120 plates: nos. 8052 -8171. At this time the Botanical Magazine was issued in coloured and uncoloured versions the latter have a different quality as the purity of the stone lithography is displayed to full advantage.

And: "General Indexes.the first forty-two volumes." pub. 1817 contemporary half dark green morocco marbled end papers J. H. Langston. Sarsden bookplate.

Condition is generally fine to very good all bindings strong some of the earlier volumes lightly faded to the spines. Plates mostly very clean a few with a little spotting or offsetting.
