A tidy little book; essentially a collection of small, 2-pagers for each flower, much of it about when first "discovered" by W. European explorers or missionaries, and introduced to W. Europe. I was hoping for something that maybe incorporated a bit more of a plant's etymology by way of folklore -- nevertheless, a nice appetizer for someone who likes history, plants, and historical fun facts about plants. Also, bibliography section is excellent.
