A foundational reference for the taxonomy of flowering plants, this volume is part of theProdromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis by Alphonso de Candolle. It surveys the Solanaceae in depth and begins with related groups, presenting a concise, methodical account of genera, species, and their natural arrangement. The edition reflects 19th‑century classification practices and vocabulary used to describe plant forms and relationships.
Designed for scholars and librarians, the work offers systematic descriptions, nomenclature notes, and outlining of the plant groups it treats. Readers will encounter the formal organization of plant orders, the arrangement of genera, and the terminology used to distinguish species and their features. It serves as a historical snapshot of botanical science and a reference point for how plant groups were historically categorized.
- Concise taxonomic framework for Solanaceae and allied groups
- Formal descriptions and notes on genera and species
- Historical context for nomenclature and classification methods
- Reference material useful for students, researchers, and collectors
Ideal for readers of historical botany, library reference, and anyone studying Candolle’s Prodromus editions.
