Hippocastanaceae -
Aesculus indica.

others.
Gand [Gent], Louis van Houtte, 1858 (1861), volume 13, plate 1358.

The founder, publisher and part-editor of this lavish Belgian periodical was
Louis van Houtte, the propietor of the largest nursery of its time on the
continent. It appeared monthly for almost 40 years and was published by his own
printing office in the middle of the gardens, the Horto van Houtteano. All the
plants shown were for sale in his nursery and include many exotics. The work is
notable for the craftmanship of the Belgian lithographers Severeyns, Stroobant
and De Pannemaker, who had mastered the art of colour-printing from stone.
