Second edition. Philippe-Joseph-Emmanuel de Smyttère (1800-1886) was a French physician, botanist and historian. His work, inspired by the classifications of Candolle, offers classification tables where medicinal properties are highlighted. "I conceived the project of demonstrating, through application, the link that unites natural history to therapeutics" (extract from the preface).
