Title Theatrum botanicvm: the theater of plants, or An Herball of large extent
Subject Botany--Pre-Linnean works
Creator Parkinson, John, 1567-1650
Description Printed in London by T. Cotes, this work by John Parkinson, the Royal Botanist to Charles I, describes over 3,800 plants and was the most complete and beautifully presented English treatise on plants of its day. It was the first work to describe 33 native plants, 13 of which grew near Parkinson's Middlesex home. Some of these plants, such as the Welsh poppy, the Strawberry Tree and the Lady's Slipper, were very common but had gone unnoticed or at least unrecorded. He intended the book to be a reliable guide for apothecaries, and it remained so for more than a hundred years after his death.
