This is the longest running scientific periodical. It started life in 1787 as
Curtis's botanical magazine, or, Flower-garden displayed
Then just Botanical MagazineThen Curtis’s Botanical Magazine
Then Kew magazine ( for 10 years from 1984-1994)
Then reverted to Curtis’s Botanical Magazine
It was published in easily handled Octavo size unlike the folio-sized Flora Londonensis.

Curtis edited the first 13 volumes but then he died. Succeeding editors were his friend John Simms (1800-1826) volumes 15-26, and the botanist William Jackson Hooker (1827-1865), His son Joseph Dalton Hooker became Director of Kew Gardens (1865-1904) and Kew have published the magazine ever since.
The early illustrators were James Sowerby (56 plates) and Sydenham Edwards (who produced over 1700 plates). William Hooker brought in the artist Walter Hood Fitch who remained the principal artist for forty years resigning in 1877 over an argument about how much he should be paid. Joseph Hooker’s daughter Harriet Anne Hooker Thiselton-Dyer stepped in for a couple of years, 1878-1880, until Matilda Smith took over, producing over 2300 plates. All illustrations were hand painted right up to 1948.
Charlecote has 26 volumes from Volume 1

Theophrastus's Enquiry into Plants or Historia Plantarum was one of the most important books of natural history written in ancient times. Theophrastus looks at plant structure, reproduction and growth; the varieties of plant around the world; wood; wild and cultivated plants; and their uses. Book 9 in particular, on the medicinal uses of plants, is one of the first herbals, describing juices, gums and resins extracted from plants, and how to gather them.
