Rare Austrian Flora published more than 50 years after the death of the famous mineralogist and botanist Franz Xaver Freiherr von Wulfen (1728-1805), one of the early followers of Linnaeus in using a strictly binominal nomenclature, and who left a botanical manuscript "ready for printing". "Norica", according to Stafleu and Cowan, "corresponds roughly to the later Upper and Lower Austria, south of the Danube, Salzburg, Styria, Carinthia and parts of Tirol and Bavaria". The editors added a long history of Austrian botany after Von Wulfen, and included a list of his published works. Uncut. Minimal fraying to edges. A very good, clean copy. Stafleu and Cowan, 18370. Not in Soulsby.
