Original copper engravings on laid paper drawn by Claude Aubriet, with (later) Hand-colouring originating from
Tournefort, Joseph Pitton De. Institutiones rei herbariae. Editio tertia... 3rd ed.(in fact second latin ed.). I-III (1 text volume and 2 plate volumes). Paris. e typograpia regia, 1719.
This work is considered to be one of Tournefort's major botanical works. Linné (Linnaeus) named the plant Tournefortia after him. The present edition is in fact the second Latin edition, the first edition refers to the 'Élémens de botanique'; Hunt 450: "Tournefort's significance lies in the fact of having classified all plants into genera. Hundreds of the generic names coined or accepted by him were later adopted by Linnaeus and are in use today ."
Provenance: Carl Olof Agardh (1785-1859), Swedish algologist; August Rudberg (1842-1912), Swedish clergyman and botanist.
