The first and most important botanical magazine made up of ‘figures’ of plants

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.
