The first two parts of a still running scientific journal. Vol. 1 part 1: 74 pp; part 2: pp. 75-184, index. Published by Ariamehr botanic garden; the title equates to Royal, Ariamehr (Light of the Aryans) being one of the honorific titles of the former Shah of Iran. Like Glasnevin (Dublin), the garden no longer uses its former name. Fig. 1, p. 111, shows Acanthophyllum crassinodum drawn by Gillian A. Meadows, who kindly allowed me to use it as the logo for my bookstore.
