CLARKE, William A. First Records of British Flowering Plants. London: West, Newman & Co. 1897.

8vo. Original limp green boards, gilt lettering to front; pp. 103. [1]; marginal notes in ink, very good.

First edition.

Clarke's assiduous work in listing the first recorded scientific description of each species of the native flora of Britain was initially published in sections in the Journal of Botany between 1892 and 1896. Here it appears complete, expanded and amended for the first time. The second edition of 1900 is relatively easy to find, as are modern reprints of this extremely useful work, but the first edition remains elusive because of its small print run. "Until 1897, when William Clarke produced his First records of British flowering plants, there was no publication where one could see the date and source of the discovery of all of the native plants in Britain and Ireland" (David A Pearman, "Chronicling the discovery of the British and Irish native floras", Archives of natural history, Volume 45, Issue 2).

There are marginal notes to 54 pages. These are mainly in the form of one of "Bath", "Bristol", "Somerset" or "Essex", denoting when a plant was first identified in one of those locations. Without any further context it must be assumed that these locations had personal importance for the previous owner.

Perfect accessory for travelers to Europe
Style: Type C/G/A-Most Countries-3FT
I travel to Europe yearly, so it made sense to purchase a power strip with a type C plug rather than traveling with multiple adapters. Even with a 3-foot cord, it's the perfect travel-friendly extension cord. I love that there are three standard USA outlets, as well as two each USB-C and USB-A ports. Even better, it's lightweight and doesn't take up much room in my luggage. It's very reasonably priced, has great functionality, and I highly recommend it for fellow travelers.

Best plug if you are traveling to France or Europe
Style: Type C/G/A-Most Countries-3FT
If you ever need a European plug, this is the one to get. I took it with me to France for a whole month and it was a life saver. I was able to plug all my electronics and also have no issues with the conversion of watts. Now that I have it I take it with me anytime I travel to Europe.

Great Buy
Style: Type C/G/A-Most Countries-3FT
Bought for trip to Italy. The long cord worked great as I had several things to charge and the side tables weren't big enough. This reached the floor and nothing was falling off tables. The plug fit snugly in the socket which was key as they tend to be loose there. Don't take your own hair dryer or curling iron, they burn out from the amperage there.
