The "Critica Botanica" of Linnæus

Abstract

THE publication of Sir Arthur Hort's scholarly translation of Linnaeus's "Critica Botanica" is not only a very useful contribution to botanical science but also its appearance at the present time is singularly appropriate, since two hundred years have just elapsed since the Latin original was published in Leyden in 1737.

The “Critica Botanica” of Linnæus

Translated by the late Sir Arthur Hort. Revised by Miss M. L. Green. (Ray Society Series, No. 124.) Pp. xxvii + 239. (London: Bernard Quaritch, Ltd., 1938.) 12s. 6d.
