Description:
Leningrad, 1842. RARE. Small quarto, pp 189, contemporary mottled boards, lacking the backstrip. Duplicate formed from the fusion of the Boissier/Candolle libraries. C.E. Hubbard's copy. [Hubbard was the dean of the British agrostologists, with an encyclopedic knowledge of the world's grasses. He did not follow the increasingly popular view of recognizing four to six subfamilies by listing only two (Festucoideae and Panicoideae) and 27 tribes. Trinius prepared a summary of grass classification and synonymy, in which he listed 2457 species, along with their author and place of publication - this was a cornerstone of modern grass taxonomy.]. First Edition. Boards. Good.
