Icones plantarum Galliae rariorum nempe incertarum aut nondum delineatarum
A botanical plate book by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle, published in 1808 and printed by J.G.A. Stoupe, offering engraved studies of rare or undescribed French plants for botanists and naturalists. The plates show whole flowering stems alongside dissected florets, bracts and seeds, drawn in fine grey line with each part labelled in Latin and French, giving designers precise, orderly examples of scientific plate layout.
