About This Item
1806 1ed George Don British Plants DRIED LEAVES Botany Herbarium Britannicum
George Don was a 19th-century Scottish botanist who is best-known for his literature on gardening and British plants. He was highly influenced by his peer John Loudon of whom he created supplements and commentaries to many of his works, including 'Hortus Britannicus'. This manifested itself in a work called 'Herbarium Britannicum' in which Don annexes the names and habitats of dried British plants.
This 1806 eighth 'fasciculus' contains actual dried leaves attached to each of the folio leaves!
