His research and findings were published in his book ‘Systema Natura’ which would be reissued for decades. English author Richard Duppa collected Linnaeus’s works and published many of them in a book entitled ‘Elements of the Science of Botany’. This second volume from the 1812 edition contains numerous full-page color illustrations.
