Pollich, Johannis Adami. Historia Plantarum in Palatinatu Electorali Sponte Crescentium Incepta.... Tomus Tertius- Cryptogamia. Pub. Mannhemii. 1777
pp.320 with 12 engraved images neatly tipped in. Bound in contemporary full calf with very neat repairs to the spine. Contents vg. to fine. Very scarce in original edition. A fascinating copy.
It would appear that a previous owner has tipped 12 engraved illustrations (from around the same period) into this work which would normally come without any illustrations at all. The illustrations are of the following plants - Musci (Moss) chapter Phascum subulatum, Mnium fontanum, Mnium setaceum, Mnium cirratum, Mnium crudum, Mnium triquetrum, Bryum caespiticium, Hypnum repens, Hypnum clavellatum, Hypnum myurum, Algae chapter - Jungermannia multiflora and Jungermannia undulate.
