Description:

First published in 1939 and long out of print, this beautifully imaginative book is a classic of nature writing. Tracing the evolution of plant life from the appearance of the earliest micro-organisms to the rise of the modern floras, the book is part natural history, part biography, and part philosophical reflection.
