Description: Berlin, Georg Reimer, 1862-1864. Two volumes in two. 4to (32.1 x 24.3 cm). 610 pp. [xxii, iv, 304; 305-584]; 61[1-48; 49-60, 48A] engraved plates with captions. Uniform green quarter cloth over green paper boards with printed label on the spines. = The complete botanical results of an expedition to the then little explored southeastern coasts of Africa, opposite Madagascar and now known as Moçambique (Mozambique, German: Mosambik). The tropical to subtropical flora has many endemic elements and therefore it does not come as a surprise that this early exploration yielded many new species. This part was written by a host of specialist, including (alphabetically) N. J. Andersson; J. O. Boeckeler, C. A. Bolle, A. C. H. Braun, C. A. F. Garcke, J. K. Hasskarl, F. W. Klatt, J. F. Klotzsch, C. S. Kunth, K. Müller and H. G. Reichenbach. Some light rubbing to board edges, a dampstain in a corner of one plate (apparently from before binding), but in all a very good, clean and unmarked copy. Cat. BM(NH) IV, p. 1555; Nissen ZBI, 3139; Stafleu and Cowan, 7759.
