FIRST EDITION. An alphabetically arranged survey of the plants of France, by Jaume Saint-Hilaire (1772-1845), with detailed plates made from his own illustrations. The text accompanying each plate gives the Linnaean classification as well as Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu's new system of taxonomy, and the 12 plates in the preliminaries explain the botanical characteristics of plants.

Further volumes were issued between 1819 and 1822, to make a total of 10 volumes with 1,000 plates.
