Ouvrage proposé par souscription. Paris (author; Didot le jeune, Poisson) 1783-1784\[-1786\], 3 vols. Fol. †. **Abbreviated title**: *Phytonom. univ.* **Notes** *Vol. 1*: livraisons 1-10, Jan 1783-middle 1784, p. \[i\], \[iii\], 1-240, *pl*. \[*1-120*\]. *Vol. 2*: livraisons 11-20, 1784 (Jul-Dec)-Jul 1786, p. \[i\], \[iii\], 1-252, *pl*. \[*121-240*\]. *Vol. 3*: livraisons 22-28, 1786(?), as follows: 22: \[1\]-24, *pl. 248-257.* 23: 25-52, *pl. 258-270.* 24: 53-80, *pl. 271-282.* 25: 81-140, *pl. 253-294.* 26: 105-128, *pl. 295-304.* 27: 129-152, *pl. 305-317.* 28: 153-176, *pl. 319-328.* *Copies*: G, HU (vol. 3 in orig. covers), NY (vols 1, 2). – The Hunt copy of vol. 1 has 121 plates (lacking *pl. 51*); vol. 2 has 117 plates (lacking *pl. 83*). Preface material of vol. 1: \[i, h.t.\], \[iii, t.p.\], \[v, second t.p.\], \[vii-viii, avis, premier tableau\]. – Livraison 21 was never published; it was to have contained a complete treatment of the "Cruciformes." It is likely that plate numbers nos. 241-247 had been set aside for this part. With plate 318, which was never published, this accounts for 8 plates lacking from the series *1-328*; in all there are 320 plates (all hand coloured copper engravings by Poisson). A folio prospectus appeared in Paris in Jan 1783. It announced the publication of 100 coloured and 100 plain copies. Some coloured copies were produced on "papier de Hollande" (the Plesch copy). Pritzel has a note that publication may have started as early as 1773. We have not been able to find further evidence supporting this statement. The "noms tirés de leurs caractères" ("nom générique phytonomato-technique") are combinations of letters indicating characteristics. These are formulae and cannot be considered as names under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (see also N. M. v. Wolf); the plants are anyhow regularly described under the "normal" Linnaean names. *Ref*.: Kew 1: 221; NI 145; Plesch p. 139; PR 666. - Sotheby, Cat.
