Originally published in 1925, this book contains the proceedings of the Imperial Botanical Conference, held at the Imperial College of Science and Technology in July 1924. The conference decided on a number of technical directions to assist botanists in all corners of the British Empire in their study of native flora and diseases of plants. The papers published include several by celebrated botanists of the day, including Dr Redcliffe Salaman and Professor J. Percival. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of botany.
