= Nissen, BBI 1215; Hunt 504: "As the volume was produced at the expense of George Clifford, merchant prince and owner of the gardens at Hartecamp, it stands alone among the many publications of Linnaeus as a really beautiful book. It is the only book by Linnaeus found in the bibliographical lists of Dunthorne, Nissen, and Great Flower Books. The sensitive and lively drawings of Georg Dionysius Ehret (1708-1770) and the good engraving of Jan Wandelaar (1690-1759) make the book a treasure." SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XLII.
