The Bromeliads by Leon Duval. Edited and annotated by Michael
Rothenberg and Dr. Robert W. Read. Introduction to the edition by Dr. Read.
Translated from original French by Doris Love. Designed by Peter Rutledge
Koch. "A contemporary of both Andre' and Morren, Leon Duval had such
a tremendous fascination for all exotic plants that his enthusiasm, quite
rightly, spilled onto bromeliads. His special insight and appreciation for
the peculiarities of pollination and seed growing, so unique to bromeliads,
and his innate understanding of systematic relationships is truly amazing."

illustrations in this book. Harbound, cloth over boards. Limited to 600 copies.
