Flora Virginica

Flora Virginica, presented here in two volumes, showcases the botanical observations and collections of John Clayton in Virginia. Johannes Fredericus Gronovius meticulously arranges these plants according to the sexual system, assigning them to their proper genera, designating specific names, and describing those less known. This work provides invaluable insights into the plant life of 18th-century Virginia, offering a detailed catalog of its flora.

A cornerstone of botanical literature, Flora Virginica remains an essential resource for researchers, historians of science, and anyone interested in the natural history of the Americas. The detailed descriptions and systematic organization reflect the scientific rigor of its time and continue to inform contemporary studies.
