1855017571Stuttgart: J.B. Metzler 1855. Large octavo pp viii 474 ii some foxing and age-toning throughout but otherwise very sound internally bound in half cloth and marbled boards probably early twentieth century slightly rubbed. One of the cornerstones of nineteenth century grass taxonomy. The second part concerned Cyperaceae. RARE and one of the best possible provenances - Eduard Hackel's copy with his extensive manuscript notes and insertions throughout. It then passed to the Dutch agrologist Pieter Jansen who gifted it to C.E. Hubbard after a visit to the Kew Herbarium. ERNST GOTTLIEB VON STEUDEL was born at Esslingen am Neckar in Baden-Württemberg. He was educated at the University of Tübingen earning his medical doctorate in 1805. Shortly afterwards he settled into a medical practice in his hometown of Esslingen and in 1826 became the chief state physician in what had become the Kingdom of Württemberg. In 1825 together with Christian Ferdinand Friedrich Hochstetter 1787-1860 he organized an organization in Esslingen known as Unio Itineraria Württembergischer botanische severein. The purpose of this society was to send young botanists out into the world to discover and collect plants in all of their varieties thus promoting and expanding botanical studies and herbaria throughout the Kingdom and beyond. Hochstetter himself traveled to Portugal Madeira and the Azores and Steudel was able to create a herbarium of over 20000 species. EDUARD HACKEL 1850 - 1926 was an Austrian botanist. HE studied at the Polytechnical Institute in Vienna and became substitute teacher at a high school in St. Pölten in 1869. He became full professor of natural history there upon obtaining his teaching certificate in 1871 and remained in this position until his retirement in 1900. He published his first agrostology papers on grasses in 1871 and soon became known as a world expert agrostologist on the grass family Poaceae. While he himself undertook only a single collecting trip - to Spain and Portugal he was charged with working up collections of grasses mainly from Japan Taiwan New Guinea Brazil and Argentina. Apart from agrostologisty systematics Hackel also contributed to the morphology and histology of members of the grass family. The genus Hackelochloa Poaceae is named for him. C.E. HUBBARD of RBG Kew was probably the foremost grass taxonomist of the twentieth century. First Edition. Half cloth and boards. Good. J.B. Metzler Hardcover

Blanche Henrey 323. John Ray FRS 1627 - 1705 was a Christian English naturalist widely regarded as one of the earliest of the English parson-naturalists.His classification of plants in his earlier Historia Plantarum was an important step towards modern taxonomy. Ray rejected the system of dichotomous division by which species were classified according to a pre-conceived either/or type system and instead classified plants according to similarities and differences that emerged from observation. He was among the first to attempt a biological definition for the concept of species as "a group of morphologically similar organisms arising from a common ancestor". Another significant contribution to taxonomy was his division of plants into those with two seedling leaves dicotyledons or only one monocotyledons a division used in taxonomy today. "In the Synopsis apart from the Linnean nomenclature we have a modern hand-book. The survey of species is remarkably accurate at least in flowering plants. The country has been adequately explored. The names and brief descriptions make identification easy. The classification if not scientifically perfect follows a natural sequence and is as easy to use as the modern scheme. British botany has been given a secure and intelligible foundation" - John Raven. Full Leather. Very Good. Gulielmi & Joannis Innys Hardcover

1831021666London: Sold by the Proprietor J. Sowerby or C.E. Sowerby; latterly J.W. Salter 1831. 1831 - 1849.

Volume I - plates 2593 - 2692 extremely clean and bright. Volume II - plates 2693 - 2796 the first ten plates and text have faint fold markings otherwise very clean and bright. Volume III - plates 2798 - 2866 lacking 2797 one plate with a paper crease probably a production fault. Volume IV - is where it gets complicated.

The paper in this last volume is of poorer quality with a little age-toning occasional scattered light blemishes or foxing. RARE. A further volume was published in 1863 but is not present here but all volumes are exceedingly scarce. A vital addition to the first edition of English Botany but rarely to be found. In the advertisement to Volume I it explains that the death of Sowerby in 1822 and Smith in 1828 delayed any possibility of the publication of these new discoveries. However Sowerby's two sons were now embarking on this venture which they originally thought would be complete in two volumes. Latterly the descriptions were completed by eminent botanists such as C.C. Babington William Borer M.J. Berkeley and William Wilson. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good. Sold by the Proprietor J.
