Item description from seller

A very scarce copy of Rattray"s portable introduction to Linnaean botany, comprising two large folding charts devoted to plant anatomy, terminology and classification. In the publisher's original green cloth binding. This copy is undated. Dated here using Jisc, from copies held by various insitutions including The Linnean Society of London. A portable botanical teaching aid comprising two large linen-backed folding charts. Designed to present the principal elements of Linnaean botany in a compact form, the charts explain botanical anatomy and terminology, including roots, stems, inflorescence, flowers, fruit and more, together with a key to the classes, orders, genera, and species of Linnaeus"s sexual system. The charts also provide guidance for identifying and classifying plants, with reference to the indigenous flowering plants and cryptogams of Great Britain. A scarce survival of 19th century botanical education. In the publisher's original cloth binding.Externally, generally smart. Slight rubbing and bumping to extremities, with very minor closed tearing to cloth at spine ends. LIght rubbing to boards with the odd very small handling mark. Internally, firmly bound. Two small ink annotations to linen backing of first chart. Light scattered spotting to linen backing with one or two handling marks. Charts bright if slightly age toned with one or two very light spots. Slight wear to margins and folds, slightly more so to central fold of the second chart. Very Good. …
