Limited edition. Written and illustrations in watercolour by Barbara Jeppe with additional text by Graham Duncan. Signed by Jeppe and Duncan and numbered no 40 of 100 copies. Presented to  the previous owner, Prof Pieter Wagener (Applied Maths, Fort Hare University).

A map of South Africa printed on endpapers. Half bound in green cloth and marbled paper. From John Rourke's foreword: "Sandwiched between the blistering plains of the Karoo and the icy waters of the South Atlantic is the realm of the Cape Bulbs. No general publication providing a concise overview of the Cape's profusion of winter and spring flowering bulbous plants has ever been produced. Barbara Jeppe has filled that void."

Condition. Fine. As new. Cover and binding immaculate and no wear. Corners of slipcase slightly bumped.
