Description:Excerpt from The English Flora, Vol. 1 of 4 The title of Flora, first used by Linders and Ruppius, early in the eighteenth century, to designate an account of the native plants of some particular country, has become popular in the Linnaean school of Botany, and is now universally adopted. Books bearing this title arc almost innumerable, while their scope and their merits are equally various. Some are little more than catalogues of names; others are elaborate histories of the vegetable productions of particular districts, more or less extensive; and many are illustrated with figures of the several species, or at least of those requiring particular elucidation. The utility of such publications has been much controverted; but it depends, like that of other works, on the excellence of their plan and execution. A mere list of the plants of any country, if accurate and complete, has its appropriate value; more especially when it contains the discriminative characters by which such plants may be ascertained. But a Flora may also be made a vehicle for the natural, medical, and economical history of a country, like the Flora Lapponica of Linnaeus; though such objects cannot with propriety enter into the plan of a Flora of any highly improved or well-known region.
