A collection of about 119 hand-coloured engravings of Cape plants, selected from the early years of Curtis\'s Botanical Magazine. Bound into old green half-leather. According to the typed title-page this has been arranged according to Harvey\'s \"Genera of South African Plants.\" The engravings depict popular Cape plants, many from bulb genera, each plate in the original hand-colouring. No text pages are present. KERKHAM #777. These stunning colour plates are a fine example of plants collected at the Cape, some illustrated here for the first time. A nice addition to an African botanical collection. Covers a bit rubbed, some browning & foxing.
