Flora Sibirica, sive historia plantarum Sibiriae
Flora Sibirica is a botanical survey of Siberian plants compiled by Johann Georg Gmelin and printed by the St Petersburg Academy of Sciences in 1747 for naturalists and scholars. Its pages are folded copperplate-style botanical engravings of single plant specimens shown in pale, lightly shaded line work with stems, leaves, flower heads and roots labelled in Latin on the plate, giving a designer clean, schematic plant forms suited to scientific diagram or herbarium-style layouts.
