Contemporary dark blue boards, insignificantly worn. Green sprinkled edges. Foxing in parts, mainly in margins. A good copy. Krok Bibliotheca botanica suecana 15. The book is a result of the author's travels in Europe 1811-14. In the following year, a "Flora Carpatorum" was also published. The botanist Göran Wahlenberg (1780-1851) was the last holder of the linnaean professor's chair in Uppsala. He examined the connections between the localities of the plants, the soil, the bedrock and meteorological and hydrological factors, respectively. His studies heralded the ecological plant geography and were contemporary with - but made independently from - the international pioneer in this field of research, Alexander von Humboldt.
