About This Item
London: Printed for Longman, Orme, Brown, Green, and Longmans, Paternoster-Row. Printed by A. Spottiswoode, New-Street-Square, 1832. 4to. (8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches).

A taxonomic wonderland for the botanical specialist of British flora in a very fine original cloth binding.
Loudon's Hortus Britannicus is a catalog of the native and cultivated plants of Great Britain consisting of two parts, being the Linnean Arrangement and the Jussieuean Arrangement. Sections and subsections are validly named and briefly diagnosed for most of the larger genera. Because of the early publication date of the book, these names (none of which was typified) have priority over many of the sectional and subsectional names currently in use. Types are indicated and, where needed, lectotypes are designated for the seven sectional names under Aster.
OCLC 4730164.
