DARWIN (Charles)

INSECTIVOROUS Plants. London: John Murray, 1875.

x, 462 pp.: il.; 195 mm. Original full green cloth; corners not perfect.

FIRST EDITION. The work was published in a first print run with only 1000 copies. Two more editions were published in the same year, containing the information of the thousand on the title-page. The work is a study on carnivorous plants and their genetic adaptations that allowed them to survive in adverse conditions. With illustrations by Darwin and his sons George and Francis. Very rare and valuable.
