Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flora Telluriana The pages of these two works contain many descriptions of "new genera" of plants, so that the dates of their appearance are of considerable importance. As the books themselves are quite scarce, a brief preliminary account of them may not be out of place. Each was planned to consist of six "parts" or volumes, but was completed in four. Each of the eight parts is separately paged, and has a separate title-page and subtitle of its own; and each is dated "1836." New Flora and Botany of North America First part. Introduction, Lexicon, Monographs. 100 pages. 1836. Second part. Neophyton. 96 pages. 1836. Third part. New Sylva. 96 pages.1836. Fourth part. Neobotanon. 112 pages. 1836. (This contained also a general title-page for the entire work, dated 1836.) Flora Telluriana First part. Introduction and Classification. 103 pages. 1836. Second part. Centuria I, II, III, IV. 112 pages. 1836. Third part. Centuries V, Vi, VII, VIII. 100 pages. 1836. Fourth part. Centuries IX, X, XI, XII. 135 pages. 1836. (This contained also a general title-page for the entire work dated 1836.) Of these eight parts, the first part of the New Flora was the first to appear. It contained a dedication dated at Philadelphia, September, 1836; and pages 73-80 are occupied by a monograph of the genus Kuhnia, dated October, 1836. These facts alone are sufficient to make one suspect that perhaps the eight parts were not all issued before the end of that year! There is not lacking other internal evidence on this subject, in addition to the citation of Gray's monograph (Fl. Tell. 4 : 27; also New Fl. 4: 103, where the date of "Grey's" paper is distinctly stated as "1837"). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 4038 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Following on the successes of two previous dictionary projects, the CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names and the CRC World Dictionary of the Grasses, Umberto Quattrocchi has undertaken this dictionary of economically important plants.... He has done for these plants what was so admirably done in his other works—brought the vast and scattered literature on plant names, and in this case, too, their uses, into coherent order so that the inquisitive scholar can get a foothold." —From the Foreword, Donald H. Pfister, Harvard University and Harvard University Herbaria, Cambridge, Massachusetts The CRC World Dictionary of Medicinal and Poisonous Plants: Common Names, Scientific Names, Eponyms, Synonyms, and Etymology provides the starting point for better access to data on plants used around the world in medicine, food, and cultural practices. The material found in the five volumes has been painstakingly gathered from papers of general interest, reports and records, taxonomic revisions, field studies, herbaria and herbarium collections, notes, monographs, pamphlets, botanical literature, and literature tout court. It includes sources available at various natural history libraries, floras and standard flora works, local floras and local histories, nomenclatural histories, and the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. Much more than a dictionary, the book provides the names of thousands of genera and species of economically important plants, concise summaries of plant properties, and appropriate observations about medicinal uses. Drawing from a tremendous range of primary and secondary sources, it is an indispensable time-saving guide for all those involved with botany, herbal medicine, pharmacognosy, toxicology, medicinal and natural product chemistry, and agriculture.

Download or read book Constantine Samuel Rafinesque written by Leonard Warren and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constantine Samuel Rafinesque was a quintessential nineteenth-century American scientist and naturalist. Exalted by some, cursed by others, Rafinesque gave Latin names to over 6,700 plant species, was acknowledged by Darwin for his early insights into biological variation, and is frequently mentioned in the great natural history archives. Yet he has been almost forgotten in our own day. During his long career, which included some five years as an innovative professor at Transylvania University in Kentucky, Rafinesque's colorful and sometimes difficult personality led to troubles with his colleagues. In Constantine Samuel Rafinesque, the first full-length biography of this brilliant, original, and misunderstood naturalist, Leonard Warren presents a fair and surprising look at Rafinesque's life and contributions to the world of science.
Download or read book Orchid Muse A History of Obsession in Fifteen Flowers written by Erica Hannickel and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2022-12-20 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longlisted for the 2023 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award A kaleidoscopic journey into the world of nature’s most tantalizing flower, and the lives it has inspired. The epitome of floral beauty, orchids have long fostered works of art, tales of adventure, and scientific discovery. Tenacious plant hunters have traversed continents to collect rare specimens; naturalists and shoguns have marveled at orchids’ seductive architecture; royalty and the smart set have adorned themselves with their allure. In Orchid Muse, historian and home grower Erica Hannickel gathers these bold tales of the orchid-smitten throughout history, while providing tips on cultivating the extraordinary flowers she features. Consider Empress Eugenie and Queen Victoria, the two most powerful women in nineteenth-century Europe, who shared a passion for Coelogyne cristata, with its cascading, fragrant white blooms. John Roebling, builder of the Brooklyn Bridge, cultivated thousands of orchids and introduced captivating hybrids. Edmond Albius, an enslaved youth on an island off the coast of Madagascar, was the first person to hand-pollinate Vanilla planifolia, leading to vanilla’s global boom. Artist Frida Kahlo was drawn to the lavender petals of Cattleya gigas and immortalized the flower’s wilting form in a harrowing self-portrait, while more recently Margaret Mee painted the orchids she discovered in the Amazon to advocate for their conservation. The story of orchidomania is one that spans the globe, transporting readers from the glories of the palace gardens of Chinese Empress Cixi to a seedy dime museum in Gilded Age New York’s Tenderloin, from hazardous jungles to the greenhouses and bookshelves of Victorian collectors. Lush and inviting, with radiant full-color illustrations throughout, Orchid Muse is the ultimate celebration of our enduring fascination with these beguiling flowers.
