Venus's flytrap / Aphrodite's mousetrap

Boethius, 1990.Hard covers, dust jacket.ISBN: 0863141765.Fine/Fine.Although the dust jacket title is not the same as that on the t.p.both describe the rather strange insectivorous plant which was discovered growing in the nutrient-poor bogs of eastern North America and which caused a sensation when first introduced into cultivation in England.Published in association with the Bentham-Moxon Trust and the Linnean Society, this work includes a facsimile of John Ellis's original pamphlet (from the Linnean Society's library).This is much more, though, than a mere reprinting; the author describes it as ""a biography of Venus's Flytrap"" and he delves in some detail into the history of its discovery, its first description, illustration and cultivation.With a 'postscriptum' by Daniel L.McKinley, and with Nelson's self-indulgent but amusing touches, e.g.""Dramatis personae"" on p.[xi] of the prelims, this is a book to savour.(10), 145 pp. col.frontispiece, 10 figures.
