BENEVENS EENE UITVOERIGE BESCHRIJVING DER BOOMEN, PLANTEN, HEESTER, KRUIDEN, VARENS, MOSSEN, BOL- EN GRASPLANTEN, VOLGENS, HET ZEMEMSTEL VAN C. LINNEAUS.

14 Volumes, old half calf with marbled paper sides, 105 hand coloured folding plates, red and green title labels, the leather is dry and the corners are worn, the marbled paper sides are rubbed, the contents and the plates are crisp and bright.

Stafleu, TL.3081. Stafleu states that this issue was printed on better paper with exquisitely hand coloured plates. This edition by Houttuyn is often attributed to Linneaus himself although Houttuyn enlarged it so much that it cannot be considered to be a simple translation.
