Description **Title** *Description* des *plantes vénéneuses* du Canton de *Neuchâtel*. À l'usage des écoles et des gens de la campagne... Neuchâtel (Chez Jules Gerster/impr. de Henri Wolfrath) 1846.

(2) The introduction is signed "C.G.", i.e. C.H. Godet. *Note* \[both eds.\]: Sotheby (1: 236) asserts that *Flore des plantes vénéneuses* de la Suisse... 1849 is based on Godet's *Description*... 1845 \[i.e. 1846\], which then reverted to its orig. title in 1864, 1880 \[sic\]. This seems unlikely and although the 1849 title is superficially similar and was published anonymously we accept its earlier attribution to D. Rapin (TL-2/4, nr. 8634). ##### n.36.601.
