This is one of the more important works of the copious Pierre Joseph Buc’hoz.
It containts two hundred colored plates of varying merit, artistically and
botanically; but, except for an occasional note at the foot of a plate, it
contains no descriptions (Hunt). Some plates have their number been deleted in
the press, due to their previous use in other works. Buchoz is also spelled as
Buch’oz or Buc’hoz.* Pritzel 1327; Dunthorne 61; Blunt & Stearn pp. 158-160; Great flower books p. 52; Hunt 656; Nissen BBI 283. |
