The first and most important botanical magazine made up
of ‘figures’ of plants and short descriptions. Provides a storehouse of exotics,
paralleling the indigenous plants … (Hunt). A delightful work pictorially,
never excelled as a periodical, most carefully coloured and a source of lasting
interest and information (Dunthorne). Started by William Curtis in 1787
publication still continues.
