First published in Italian in 1902, this book is a vivid record of the diversity of the tropical plant life of Borneo as seen through the eyes of a dedicated botanist. Reflecting Beccari's detailed notes and diaries of his visits to Borneo between 1865 and 1877, this engaging narrative offers a rare glimpse of Borneo at a time when it had barely been touched by modern development.
