Sobre este artículo
1844 English Botany James Sowerby Color Cryptogam Lichens Fungi Mosses Algae
"the most celebrated of all English floras" (Henrey)
In 1790, English naturalist James Sowerby published what would become the preeminent illustrated work on English botany. Entitled simply 'English Botany', this work was a complete compendium of the native plants in Great Britain providing characteristics of plants, places of growth, as well as commentary and remarks on flowers.
English botanist James Edward Smith published his own work on the subject, collaborating with and utilizing James Sowerby's popular flower illustrations. Like the first edition, this second edition volume of Smith's 'Sowerby's Botany' includes hundreds of fascinating-colored illustrations.
