Synopsis

Flora's Lexicon is a book written by Catharine H. Waterman in 1855. The book is an interpretation of the language and sentiment of flowers, which was a popular concept during the Victorian era. The author provides an outline of botany, which is the study of plants, and a poetically written introduction. The book is essentially a guide to understanding the meanings behind different flowers and their symbolism. Each flower is given a description of its characteristics and symbolic meaning, which can be used to express emotions and sentiments in a subtle way. The book is a fascinating insight into the language of flowers and the Victorian era, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of botany, symbolism, and language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
