¶ ‘... deserves imperial thanks for producing a little book of imperial importance: the names in Hausa of all the more striking and important trees and plants in the flora of Northern Nigeria. The scope of the book, so far as botanical regions extend, is probably limited by the Sahara Desert on the north, the river Benue on the south, the Chad region on the east, and the course of the Middle Niger on the west. It does not, therefore, extend into the almost oppressively rich flora of Southern Nigeria, because nearly all of Southern Nigeria lies beyond the experiences of the Hausa-speaking folk, though, it is true, that experience does cross the Benue.’ Nature.

¶ Benjamin Maund (bap. 1790, d. 1864), botanist and horticulturist. ‘... 'Man, by nature, inherits the love of flowers', Maund wrote in the preface to volume one of the Botanic Garden (13 vols., 1825–51). He sought to share his lifelong passion by producing an interesting and useful publication affordable to everyone. Each monthly issue contained a plate with four engraved and hand-coloured figures of hardy ornamental flowering plants and eight pages of text. The principal artist was Edward Dalton Smith, of Chelsea, and the engraver, S. Watts. Maund, it is claimed, started the fashion for inserting additional material at the end of monthly numbers of botanical periodicals. With the Botanic Garden he issued The Auctarium (1833), a miscellany of practical advice and information; The Floral Register (1834), a source for newly introduced plants; and The Fruitist (inserted into the last three volumes), [all present in our volumes] a forum for disseminating knowledge through notes and readers' questions. In 1827 he became a fellow of the Linnean Society ...’ Starting in 1825, Maund produced The Botanic Garden from his press at Bromsgrove in Worcestershire. The 13 volumes of this periodical depicted with great delicacy ornamental flowering plants cultivated in the Royal Gardens and was dedicated to the young Queen Victoria. Eminent botanical artists such as Augusta Innes Withers, Edwin D. Smith, Mrs. Edward Bury and Maund's own daughter contributed to the work. The work was published by Baldwin, Cradock & Joy of London.
