John Lindley (1799-1865) was an English botanist and a leading authority on orchids. He attended Norwich Grammar School but was unable to afford university. Lindley's passion for botany helped him into the position of assistant in the herbarium of the naturalist and explorer Sir Joseph Banks. He soon established himself as a botanist of considerable talent, and was elected to the Linnean Society of London at the age of twenty-one. In 1822 he became assistant secretary to the Horticultural Society, and was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1828. He was Professor of Botany at University College, London, from 1829 to 1860. Published in 1838, Flora Medica is a systematic reference work written to help medical students understand the botanical characteristics and therapeutic properties of important medicinal plants from around the world. The book includes an appendix of indigenous names of Asiatic species, and a full index.

Employed early in his career by Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist John Lindley (1799-1865) is best known for his recommendation that Kew Gardens should become a national botanical institution, and for saving the Royal Horticultural Society from financial disaster. As an author, he is best remembered for his works on taxonomy and classification. A partisan of the 'natural' system rather than the Linnaean, Lindley published this 1841 work, the fourth edition of his Outline of the First Principles of Botany, under a new title to emphasise not only that it was 'much extended, and, it is hoped, improved', but also that it was a textbook for students of 'structural, physiological, systematical, and medical' botany. He defines the different elements of a plant, and provides a checklist for identification of plant families, before discussing the various 'natural' systems of classification, including his own, and the different practical uses of plants.

The horticulturalist John Lindley (1799-1865) worked for Sir Joseph Banks, and was later instrumental in saving the Royal Horticultural Society from financial disaster. He was a prolific author of works for gardening practitioners but also for a non-specialist readership, and many of his books have been reissued in this series. The first volume of this two-volume work was published in 1834, and the second in 1837. At a time when botany was regarded as the only science suitable for study by women and girls, Lindley felt that there was a lack of books for 'those who would become acquainted with Botany as an amusement and a relaxation', and attempted to meet this need. In the second volume of 'this little work', Lindley continues to introduce new 'tribes' of plants, including exotica such as mangoes and Venus fly traps, to his lady correspondent and her children.

The botanist John Lindley (1799-1865) collaborated with geologist and palaeontologist William Hutton (1797-1860) on this pioneering three-volume work of palaeobotany. First published between 1831 and 1837, it catalogues almost 300 species of plants from the Pleistocene to the Carboniferous period. Also included are contextual discussion and 230 plates.

Best known for designing the Crystal Palace, Paxton was head gardener at Chatsworth by the age of twenty-three. These volumes, published between 1850 and 1853, reflect not only the Victorians' interest in gardening, but also the extraordinary lengths to which they would go in search of the unusual.

The book titled ""The Genera and Species of Orchideous Plants: Part 1, Malaxideae"" was written by John Lindley and was published in 1830. The book is a comprehensive guide to the classification and identification of orchids, specifically those belonging to the Malaxideae subfamily. The book is divided into several sections, each of which provides detailed information about the various genera and species of orchids found in this subfamily. The book begins with an introduction to the Malaxideae subfamily and its characteristics, followed by a detailed description of the various genera and species. The descriptions include information about the plant's morphology, growth habit, and habitat. The book also includes detailed illustrations and diagrams of the plants, making it easier for readers to identify them. The author, John Lindley, was a renowned botanist and orchidologist of his time. His work on orchids is considered to be one of the most significant contributions to the field of botany. He was also responsible for the establishment of the Royal Horticultural Society's orchid collection, which is still considered to be one of the most important in the world. Overall, ""The Genera and Species of Orchideous Plants: Part 1, Malaxideae"" is an essential reference for anyone interested in the study of orchids. It is a valuable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and orchid enthusiasts alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

John Lindley's 1829 classification of British plants, using the 'natural' system of the French botanist Jussieu, describes genera and species in English, using a uniform, standard vocabulary, and also offers tables showing the components of each genus, and indexes giving both Latin and English common names of the plants discussed.

In this 1830 work, important in the history of taxonomy, John Lindley (1799-1865) gives a 'systematic view of the organisation, natural affinities, and geographical distribution of the whole vegetable kingdom', as well as of the uses of plants 'in medicine, the arts, and rural or domestic economy'.

This two-volume work by botanist and author John Lindley (1799-1865) was published between 1834 and 1837. Lindley felt that there was a lack of books for people, especially women and girls, 'who would become acquainted with Botany as an amusement and a relaxation', and attempted to meet this need.

This 1847 work by John Lindley, intended to acquaint his countrymen with the 'systematic' classification of plants used in Europe, gives an overview of the various taxonomic systems used since that of John Ray, and goes on to define the vegetable kingdom in terms of classes and 'alliances' of plants.
