Hortus Elginensis is a comprehensive catalogue of plants, both native and foreign, that were grown in the Elgin Botanic Garden located near the city of New York. This book was written by David Hosack in 1811 and provides a detailed account of the various species of plants that were cultivated in the garden. The author has classified the plants into different categories based on their origin and nature, and has provided detailed descriptions of each plant along with their scientific names. The book also includes illustrations of some of the plants, making it a valuable resource for botanists, horticulturists, and anyone interested in the study of plants. Overall, Hortus Elginensis is a fascinating glimpse into the botanical world of the early 19th century and a testament to the pioneering work of David Hosack in the field of botany.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
