Rheede's illustrations underlie names of many new genera and species described by Linnaeus and subsequent authors.This English version of the original Latin text will make this basic work hopefully more easy to access. Another important monograph on the Hortus was written by Dan Nicolson and colleagues (1988, An interpretation of Van Rheede's Hortus Malabaricus) and was published as volume 119 of Regnum Vegetabile, which is also available.
