Very rare German edition of which publication started one year after the original French edition 'Histoire des chênes de l'Amerique'. No more than 2 parts appeared. Stafleu & Cowan 5957, indicate that they have never seen a copy and quote a copy offered by us in our cat. 206, no. 211 (1977). The French edition was illustrated with 36 plates engraved by Auguste Plée and Louis Sellier, after drawings by Pierre and Henri Redouté. The work is one of the great classics of American botany. André Michaux (1746-1802) compiled the first flora for eastern America and introduced many American plants into French horticulture.
