Le régne végétal: divisé en traité de botanique, flore médicale, usuelle et industrielle, horticulture théorique et pratique, plantes agricoles et forestières, histoire biographiqueet bibliographique de la botanique. Plantes agricoles et forestières

Le règne végétal was published in the mid-19th century as a comprehensive encyclopedic survey of botanical science. It was conceived during a period when natural history was a central preoccupation of European academic and public life, aiming to synthesize vast amounts of botanical knowledge into a singular, structured reference work for both professional botanists and enthusiastic amateurs.

The volumes were meticulously illustrated to reflect the era's dedication to scientific classification and artistic precision. By cataloging plants through the lenses of medical, industrial, and agricultural utility, the work served as a definitive guide for practitioners. The series remains highly regarded among bibliophiles for its detailed engravings and the academic rigor applied to its taxonomic and biographical content.
