This world-famous work was begun by Sir William Jackson Hooker
(1785-1865) in 1837, and the ten volumes reissued here were
produced under his authorship until 1854, at which point his son,
Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817-1911) continued the work of publication.
Hooker's own herbarium, or collection of preserved plant specimens,
was so extensive that at one point he stored it in one house and
lived in another; it was left to the nation on his death. Each
volume contains 100 line drawings of plants, and each is
accompanied by a full Latin description, with notes in English on
habitat and significant features. The order of the plants in each
volume is not systematic, but two 'indexes' at the beginning
provide plant lists, in alphabetical order and 'arranged according
to the natural orders'.
