Amstelodami, apud Salomonem Schouten (reprinted by Bokförlaget Rediviva), 1977, Facsimile reprint of 1737 first edition.Pictorial hard covers.91 7120 093 2.Fine/No Jacket.Linnaeus's first major floristic work, published in the Netherlands with a generally good print quality; the twelve plates are however reproduced over two facing pages rather than as fold-outs.Despite the fact that the author's binomial system of nomenclature had not yet been implemented, the genera and species described herein are largely copied over verbatim into Linnaeus' later work Species Plantarum (1753).The rather fanciful frontispiece shows a traveller sitting outside his tent (or wigwam?) with an uncharacteristically tame reindeer sitting facing him, and a galloping reindeer in the background towing a Lapp in a sled.A pair of skis, a magic drum, and a sprig of Linnaea borealis (Twinflower) feature in the foreground.Two further Lapps can be seen in the distance with their canoes.(38), 372, (38) pp. 12 attractive plates.The frontispiece is also reproduced on the pictorial cover on blue cloth. In Latin.
