Publisher's hardcover binding with pictorial dust jacket. Housed in the original publisher's slipcase of which only 400 were issued. A copy in fine condition.

352pp. Illustrations in profusion.

This is the standard reference for all cycad collectors.

The book represents the first edition in this format where photos, rather than illustrations (as in the original 1989 edition), were used to illustrate all the known African Cycads in their natural habitat. The original text was also revised and newly discovered species were included. This is Volume I of what was planned to be a series of books relating to cycads, but unfortunately due to differences between publisher and author the project never went further.
