Second edition. 384 pages, plus 186 plates of line drawings by the author, original green cloth gilt, a very good copy.
From the Author's preface: 'In 1892 I closed the preface to the first edition with the words: "I do not anticipate that many more species of Ferns will ever be found in the Cape Colony, but the whole region north of the Orange, Vaal and Umvolosi Rivers is still, botanically, almost terra incongnita, and doubtless contains many still unrecorded species." Such has proved to be the case. The present edition enumerates 220 species compared with 179 in the first edition.'
