Paris: Herissant et Barrois, 1789. First edition (498 pp., appendix, index, errata). Octavo in full leather, gilt titles to spine, yellow washed edges. The first edition of the notable work of this botanist whose work, along with that of Linnaeus, formed the basis for the classification system of modern botany. His notion of ‘family’, for example, still informs modern botanical descriptions. Solid and tightly bound; hinges skilfully repaired, covers and tips worn; mild damp-staining to some early pages but still a good, clean text. An attractive copy of a (truly) seminal botanical study. Paris in 1789. What a time to publish!

FIRST EDITION of this revolutionary work in plant classification. "Jussieu's thorough study of the genera and families of flowering plants (1774-1789) resulted in the publication of his epoch-making Genera plantarum (1789).

Through an exchange of specimens, Jussieu also had…
