A botanical textbook by Sir James Edward Smith, published in London in 1821 to teach artificial and natural plant classification, including Jussieu's system, to students and medical readers. Hand-coloured plates crowd numbered flowers, fruits, seed pods, stamens and dissected parts across pale grounds, giving designers small isolated specimen motifs in yellow, pink and violet that can be cut apart and rearranged.
