Description

Dresden und Leipzig, Arnold, 1840. Slim 8vo (24.5 x 11.1 cm). 900 [(ii), 888, xx] pp. Contemporary blind, treecalf-resembling paper boards. Edges green. = A very large, detailed nomenclator of European plants by the German botanist Gustav Heynold (1798-1862). "His best-known work was the Nomenclator Botanicus Hortensis, an index of the botanical names of garden plants. It is not certain whether he had an academic degree or title. In 1846 the "Botanischen Centralblatt für Deutschland" listed him as a private scholar in Dresden. In total he was responsible for naming some 426 plant species." (hm-noroc website). Usually this work is found quite foxed; this copy, however, is a near spotless exception. Some light shelfwear to the boards, paper partly split at hinges, a few small spots in the title page margin, otherwise clean. Unmarked. A very good copy. Pritzel 4049; Stafleu and Cowan, 2739.
