7th edition. 4 volumes. Hardcover. 

The first edition of Withering's British Plants, published in two volumes in 1776, "was little more than a translation of the portions of Linnaeus's writings relevant to English botany. As Withering acquired more botanical experience, however, his Botanical Arrangement became increasingly based on his first-hand observations. In the last edition published during his lifetime (1796), Withering effected a number of important taxonomic changes in the Linnaean system. He also surveyed the British cryptogams, a class of plants imperfectly described by Linnaeus" (DSB).

Withering's book remained a standard British flora long after his death, going through four more editions (prepared by his son) between 1805 and 1830. Henrey, Brit. Bot. & Hort. Lit., III, 1508, noting that p. 418 in Vol. 4 of some copies is incorrectly numbered; ours has the correct numbering (elsewhere [II, p. 119] Henrey describes Withering's work as "the first outstanding work on British plants to be published in English")
