Prodromus systematis naturalis regni vegetabilis... Editore Alphonse de Candolle. Pars 14, Sectio 2: Sistens Thymelaeceas, Elaeagnaceas, Grubbiaceas et Santalaceas.
Paris, Masson, 1857. - (22 x 14 cm). 2 Bll., SS. (493)-706. Original-Broschur, unaufgeschnitten.
"Candolle's most significant work was the 'Prodromus systematis naturalis regni vegetabilis', which was published in several sections from 1824 to 1839 and was continued by various collaborators after his death. The Prodromus is a huge botanical treatise that differs from those published previously because of Candolle's far-reaching interests. In this work there are no dry descriptions of plants, such as were customary; instead the author, whose knowledge of botany was remarkable, treats all aspects of the science. The Prodromus contains allusions to problems of evolution as well as discussions, well in advance of the times, of ecology, phytogeography, biometry, and agronomy" (DSB 3, 43). - Vereinzelt gering stockfleckig, sonst wohlerhalten
