Circa: 1893
Publisher: By author Aloisio Sodiro
Rare and important first edition book by the title Cryptogamae published by Typis Universitatis of Quiti in 1893 containing information on important and rare flora and ferns of Ecuador with extensive descriptions and good illustrations of taxonomically important parts and keys to the various species. The book was compiled and written by Jesuit priest and botanist Aloisio "Luis" Sodiro (1836-1909).
The book is comprised of 656 numbered pages plus an index and seven lithographic plates at the end. The binding appears to be original with marbled paper covered boards and red leather covered spine with gilt lettering.
The binding is in fair to good condition with rubbed surface wear especially on the edges and bumped corners. An owner's inscription and other markings in ink are on the front free page and title page. The interior text is in fine condition with the pages tannish toned from age. There are some spots of discoloration to some of the first pages of the book.
