Thirty-eight plates with explanations; intended to illustrate Linnaeus's System of vegetables, and particularly adapted to the Letters on the elements of botany [J.J. Rousseau] / By Thomas Martyn.
A set of thirty-eight hand-coloured engraved plates issued by Thomas Martyn in London in 1799, drawn and engraved by Frederick Polydore Nodder to explain Linnaeus's sexual system of plants alongside Rousseau's botanical letters for students. Each plate floats dissected flowers, buds, stamens, seed capsules and sectioned ovaries as small lettered specimens on bare cream paper, giving designers isolated botanical parts with saturated purples, blues and oranges.
