ences for latter; bibliography (titles of the papers cited are not given), 
generic index. Microspecies are not given, and no named species in Taraxa-

Colored (or plain) plates of Scandinavian vascular and cellular plants, 
not in systematic order; the text in earlier volumes consisting principally 
of synonymy and statement of source of the specimens figured, in later 
volumes including descriptions. The work is almost universally cited by 
botanists under the title Flora danica. The geographical details in the title 
were changed several times; the form cited above was used in v. 1-4. There 
were also issues with Danish and German text (not seen), the latter of 15 
volumes only; see C. Christensen, Den danske botaniks historie 2: 558-559
