4to [26 x 18 cm]; ix, [i], 214pp, full-page illus, map, index. original cloth with gilt title lettering on spine, dj (lightly worn at edges), fine, clean in vg dj. A picture of this book is available upon request by email. Translated from the original French edition of 1977, this is an account of the French efforts at plant hunting over a period of three centuries, many of whom have been ignored or down-played in other reviews of botanical exploration. The book covers travels in many parts of the world by such persons as Belon, Tournefort, Buffon, Michaux, Bonpland, Humboldt and Jacquement, etc. There are few if any books that survey the French plant hunting expeditions.
