Description

Lipsiae, Siegfried Lebrecht [Leberecht] Crusius, 1767. Folio (38.5 x 24.2 cm). Title page with engraved pictorial vignette, [i], 20 pp; ten engraved plates. Marbled boards with facsimile of title mounted. = A very rare work, written by Carolus Linnaeus Jr. It contains the descriptions and illustrations of ten species of plants from various parts of the Globe, donated to and growing in the botanical garden of Uppsala. This work should not be confused with a near-identically titled work published in Stockholm, which contains two decas [sets of ten], for a total of 20 other new plants from the same garden (Soulsby 3821). Uncut. The order in which the text of the ten parts are placed is peculiar, viz., I, III, V, VII, IX, X, VIII, VI, IV, II, but it is complete. Uncut, with the widest possible margins. A very good, internally clean copy. We found only one auction record. Nissen BBI, 1216; Soulsby, 3822; Stafleu & Cowan, 4853.
