The Classification of Flowering Plants: Volume 1, Gymnosperms and Monocotyledons

Alfred Barton Rendle was a renowned English botanist, keeper of Botany at the Natural History Museum and botany editor for the Encyclopaedia Britannica in 1911. This volume - perhaps his best-known work - was first published in 1904, updated in 1929, and remained in print until the late 1970s.
