Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a complete account of the vegetable kingdom as it was understood in the middle of the 18th century. The author sets out his innovative system of classifying plants, based on stamens and pistils, alongside an extensive botanical dictionary of over 800 genera, each described in Latin with their common names where applicable. Common Wild Flowers are included to make the study of Botany accessible to the uninitiated. The author discusses a wide range of botanical topics, including the nature of pollination and reproduction, the importance of the different plant parts, the use of botanical names, and the need for a universal system of plant classification.
