A fine run of 31 complete volumes, from volume 27, 1948 - volume 57, 2001, some bound in hard covers by the National Botanical Institute, others in original wrappers. Each volume consists of two parts (until volume 52, from volume 53 each volume was issued complete in one part - which contains 20 descriptions, with 20 colour plates). All parts were issued separately in wrappers, but also available in green (or red) cloth, bound in one volume. Each volume consisted of 40 descriptions of plants, illustrated by 40 colour plates (apart from volumes #53-). The first 26 volumes were issued in England & plates were hand-coloured. All the volumes in this collection are in English. There are a total of 1100 colour plates in the 31 volumes on offer. A wonderful opportunity to acquire about half of the published work at a reasonable price. Pretoria Government Printer, 1948 - 2001. First editions. 31 volumes. 4to.
