Summary

"The Botanist's Repository for New and Rare Plants; vol. 01 & 02 [of 10]" by Henry Cranke Andrews is a detailed guide from the 1700s showcasing newly discovered and uncommon plants. It’s made for people who love plants, like botanists and gardeners. The book has colorful pictures and descriptions of each plant in both Latin and English, using a system to organize them. The beginning explains why the book was made, noting that lots of people were getting interested in plants at the time. Andrews talks about the difficulties of making the book because it was expensive and hard to accurately draw and name all the new plants. The book focuses on plants that are unique and haven't been written about much before, giving important information like when they bloom, how to grow them, and where they come from. This helps both new and experienced plant lovers learn more.
