Or, a Catalogue of the Plants Cultivated in the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew
Omschrijving
The horticulturist William Aiton (1731–93) became Joseph Banks's superintendent at Kew in 1783, consolidating the status of the gardens. In compiling this three-volume botanical catalogue, published in 1789, Aiton was assisted with the identification and scientific description of some 5,600 species by the botanists Daniel Solander and Jonas Dryander.
