Leipzig, Boss, 1802. 12mo (16.0 x 9.8 cm). 351 pp.; nine very romantic and beautifully engraved plates showing garden architecture (one larger folded, one acting as frontispiece). Original marbled boards. Spine with original printed label.

Rare periodical – one we have never had before - with 24 numbered contributions by Ramdohr, Becker, Petri, Krauss, and others. Including descriptions of new species of plants and fungi, and, for instance, a long, annotated list, Verzeichniss derer Pflanzen welche im Churfürstl. Orangengarten zu Dresden beim herrn Hofgärtner Seidel vom Junius 1796 bis Junius 1797 zum ersten Male geblüht haben. Probably published in five volumes. An attractive, unmarked copy. Neither this title nor any of its parts is in Pritzel or any other major bibliography. The Natural History Museum Serial Titles 3 (4th ed., 1995) records its presence in BM(NH), but does not give any detail, except for the single year 1802, which suggests incompleteness.
