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.

Nice for the bathroom
Scent: Rosemary Mint
I bought this set for my bathroom. I really liked the body/hand cream that has a nice mint sensation. I thought the hand soap was somewhat greasy. I wasn’t too thrilled with the soap. I did use all the soap but I would not buy the set again.

Don't care for the scent
Scent: Rosemary Mint
I like the way the soap lathers with just a small amount. I don't care for the scent, I chose this scent based on many rave reviews, but it is too medicine like smelling. I will purchase again in another scent.

Smells wonderful
Scent: Coconut
Let me first say I wasn’t thrilled at the price, but I purchased it anyway because I like the smell of coconut. The product Smells wonderful. And I can tell just by the aroma that it’s made with better quality ingredients. I like it a lot. Hopefully in the future, they’ll reduce the price.
