P.122 fingermarked (coincidentally this page is on Nasturtium, and includes a rather fanciful cliff view with a galleon (?) in full sail: presumably this is what the blurb refers to as ""delightful paintings of flowers, many in idyllic settings""); donor's signature and greeting (1986) on first recto, v.g.The line drawings are if anything even more quirky than the colour plates; Valerian (p.160) has a Pied Piper, as his secret rat-attractant was apparently a piece of Valerian hidden in his pocket.For readers wishing to avoid the more pedantic ethnobotany books, this one is a treat. In English.
