Book Condition: Fine.
Reprinted from the Pergamon Press 1960 edition with new addenda and corrigenda. Green cloth boards with gilt spine titles. Very lightly used. Very crisp, clean and bright inside and out. Just a hint of spine fade and previous owner bookplate to front pastedown. Includes sections on morphology, seed dispersal, the uses of the grasses and obnoxious grasses. It also includes a particularly interesting (according to an early academic review) discussion on taxonomy and phylogeny with an attempt to summarise the then recent advances in understanding. Black and white drawings illustrate some species. An exceptional copy of a very scarce text.
