The plates are usually arranged in numerical order. There are three engraved t.p.'s (by J. J. de Boissieu). The original plan was to issue 600-700 plates in volumes of 100 plates. The plates are uncoloured copper engravings. The title given above is that of the engraved title pages. The covers had in addition: "Ouvrage destiné à servir de supplément à tous des livres élémentaires de botanique, à toutes les descriptions, à toutes les flores particulières de tous les pays de l'Europe, et à l'aide duquel on peut facilement acquérir la connaissance d'un grand nombre de plantes et une parfaite intelligence du language botanique." – PR reports the presence of all 660 plates in the Delessert library (now Institut de France). Each plate is accompanied by 1 or 2 pages of text. – Magnin states that, although the *Flore d'Europe* carries Boissieu's name, it was the work of several collaborators: Auger, Dujat d'Ambérieu, Hubert de Saint-Didier, and Dumarché. *Ref*.: BM 1: 189; Jackson p. 226; Kew 1: 285; NI 191; Plesch p. 147-148; PR 951; SO add. 785c; IDG 5855. - Magnin, Bull.
