Vireya Rhododendron Books

RHODODENDRONS OF SABAH, A Sabah Parks Publication

By. George Argent, A. Lamb, A. Phillipps & S. Collenette

Softcover, 145 pages with photos of most of the 50 Vireya species native to Sabah and Mt. Kinabalu. This is the kind of book that a person can read over and over again. Great stuff. We got nine new copies in January 2006. Have 1 left in October 2007 & that is probably all there is except in used book stores. It’s out of print now.

Post paid in the USA $35.00

BUT!!!!

A new revised version is now out, called ‘The Rhododendrons of Sabah Malaysian Borneo’also by George Argent and his helpers. Printed in Malaysia with lots of very good color photos. Hard cover. So if you are a Vireya nut you really need this book. I had 10 copies and they are all gone now (sorry). We three slaves here at Bovees Nursery do not make money (well maybe $2 or $3 per book we sell) on books, we do it as a service to you.

SOOOO you can get this book direct from the publishes in Sabah, Borneo

Sorry but you might be shocked about what they charge for “” Bank Charge” and shipping. Then again, this is also a very nice book for Vireya people to have.
