With indexes at the rear of each volume, but not containing the index that was issued in 1874. Known as "The Prodromus," this is Candolle's monumental descriptive classification of all heretofore known seed plants. Augustin Pyramus de Candolle prepared the first seven volumes of "Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis," with his son Alphonso completing the work with the help of various authors. Swiss botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle (1778-1841) is often described as one the greatest Swiss botanists of the early nineteenth-century. He is known for establishing scientific structural criteria for determining natural relations among plant genera. After Charles Darwin introduced the principles of organic evolution, Candolle's criteria furnished the empirical foundation for a modern evolutionary history of plants. In his writings, he argued that plant anatomy, not physiology, must be the only basis of classification, for which he coined the term taxonomy. In addition to being credited with supplanting Linnaean classification, Candolle is also remembered for pioneering the study of phytogeography, the biogeography of plants. …
