Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed compendium of plants gathered by Dr. Theodore Vogel during the ill-fated Niger Expedition of 1841. It includes species collected by Vogel and his assistant, Ansell, along the banks of the Niger River and its tributaries, as well as from the island of Fernando Po, where Vogel convalesced after contracting malaria. Vogel's untimely death during the expedition left his collections largely unstudied, and this book represents the first comprehensive attempt to describe and classify them. It is a valuable resource for botanists and historians alike, offering insights into the botanical diversity of West Africa in the mid-19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330657546_0
