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 pp. 158-160; Nissen BBI 283; Great flower books p. 52; Hunt 656. |
