RARE FIRST EDITION. The Phytologiae was intended to be the first of a two-volume dictionary of plants with the second volume planned to be devoted to trees never published due to Ambrosini's death. The woodcuts in this work on herbaceous plants were done by Lorenzo Tinti. "Giancinto (Hyacintho) was director of the Botanical Gardens at Bologna from 1657-1665, following the directorship of his brother Bartolomeo. The genus Ambrosinia was named after the two brothers" (Hunt). The book contains a description of the tobacco plant on p. 377/378.
