The second impression.

This is Reginald Farrer's last book, originally published posthumously in 1921, the year after the traveller and plant collector died while on an expedition in upper Burma.
Farrer would often travel to Asia in search of a variety of plants, many of which he brought back to England and planted near his home village of Clapham, North Yorkshire.
