Second, extensively revised edition of the phanerogams volumes of Flora von Deutschland by the German botanical artist and engraver Jacob Sturm (1771-1848), first published at Nürnberg in the years 1798-1862 (some bibliographies say 1855 or 1861) It comprised three parallel series with a total of 36 volumes (Arnold Arboretum and Bradley apparently missed one or two of the last volumes. The three series cover phanerogams (seed plants), cryptogams (spore plants) and fungi. The present second edition, rarely recorded in the literature, covers only the first series: phanerogams. It appeared as volumes 6-21 in the series Schriften der deutschen Lehrer-vereins für Naturkunde, and the text is almost entirely new. The German botanist Ernst Hans Ludwig Krause (1859-1942) seems to have been responsible for this edition and may have written the new text. Each volume describes a different category of seed plant (including trees, bushes and flowers). The 1st volume, for example, describes conifers and lilies, the 2nd and 3rd different kinds of gramineae, the 4th orchids and aquatic herbs and the 8th roses. The 15th volume is an index.
With an owners inscription from J. Hamberger, dated 4 March 1922, in the 3rd and 13th volumes. Some volumes slightly rubbed, otherwise all volumes in good condition.
