Caroli Linnaei ... philosophia botanica in qua explicantur fundamenta botanica cum definitionibus partium, exemplis terminorum, observationibus rariorum ...
This is a 1780 Latin botanical treatise by Carl von Linné, edited by Johann Gottlieb Gleditsch and published in Berlin by Christian Friedrich Himburg, written for botanists and students learning plant terminology. The plates are numbered engraved tables of leaves, stems, tendrils and seed-like forms, each figure labelled for classification. A designer might take from them the clean hand-drawn botanical line work and the systematic grid of repeated forms, useful for pattern, icon or diagram ideas.
