Edwards's botanical register, or, Ornamental flower-garden and shrubbery
Edwards's Botanical Register is a London botanical periodical published by James Ridgway in 1829, with plates prepared by Sydenham Edwards and text by John Lindley for gardeners and plant collectors. The hand-coloured plates show orchids and bulbous flowers drawn life-size with dissected floral parts beside each specimen, offering a designer clear models of arching stems, spotted petals, and tidy analytical diagrams.
