Flora Americae Septentrionalis: Or A Catalogue Of The Plants Of North America (1771)

Flora Americae Septentrionalis is a comprehensive catalogue of the plants found in North America, written by Johann Reinhold Forster and published in 1771. The book provides a detailed description of each plant species, including its scientific name, physical characteristics, and habitat. Forster, a German naturalist and botanist, traveled extensively throughout North America in the mid-18th century, collecting plant specimens and recording his observations. This book is the result of his extensive research and provides an important record of the flora of North America during this period. The book is divided into two parts: the first part provides an overview of the geography and climate of North America, while the second part contains the catalogue of plants. The catalogue is arranged alphabetically by genus, with each species described in detail. The book is illustrated with numerous engravings of the plants, and includes a glossary of botanical terms. Flora Americae Septentrionalis is an important work in the history of botany and natural history, and remains a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts today.Containing An Enumeration Of The Known Herbs, Shrubs And Trees Many Of Which Are But Lately Discovered.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
