It attempts to be scientifically accurate as far as it goes, while expressed in language as little technical as possible, so as to be readily intelligible to the non-botanical reader. The object has been to supply a few interesting notes descriptive of the plants delineated and their allies, with such reference as space permits to their geographical distribution, physiology, cultivation, folk-lore, and uses.' Ida Southwell Perrin (1857-1953) was a distinguished artist, sculptor, botanist, collector and philanthropist. She is also noted for setting up a pottery in the gardens of her house, The Cottage, Bushey Heath, in the early 1920s to carry on the legacy of ceramicist William De Morgan, a key figure in the Arts and Crafts movement.
