Some of the most beautiful, useful, and fascinating plants in the world are also the most uncommon—even including mistletoe and aloe vera—bringing many of these species to the point of crisis. Exploring what makes the world's rarest plants so exceptional and assessing how they have become so scarce, this book tells the story of 40 endangered species through exquisite botanical artworks sourced from the archives of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Housed in a case, the book is presented alongside 40 frameable art prints.
