About This Item
Wien: Carl Gerald's Sohn, 1858. First edition. Thick octavo, pp xiv, 816, slight foxing, but otherwise very clean and sound internally, bound in an early twentieth century simple red cloth. With the bookplate of Kenneth Lazenby, a founding member of the Alpine Garden Society. RARE. [Von Wulfen (1728 - 1805) was an Austrian botanist, zoologist, mineralogist, alpinist, and Jesuit priest and an early follower of Linnaeus and the binomial system. He is credited with discovering the flowering plants Wulfenia carinthiaca, Saxifraga moschata, and Stellaria bulbosa. In 1845 the lead molybdate mineral wulfenite was named in his honor. Much of his literary work was printed only after his death, including this work.]. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good.
