  • Title: Botanicum medicinale : Or An herbal of medicinal plants on the list of the College of Physicians, describing their the place of growth, roots, leaves, flowers, time of flowering, fruits, seed-vessels, seeds, ripening their fruit, colours, parts used in medicine, preparations in the shops. Together with the medicinal virtues, and their names in nine languages. By T. Sheldrake. Note, such plants as grow in England, are drawn from nature with greatest exactness. All such flowers, or parts of flowers, as are too small to be distinguished by the eye, will be magnified, and marked on the plates. This work is disposed in such manner, that every promoter of it may bind them as they shall most approve of, whether alphabetically suitable to any of the languages, or according to their different genus's particular qualities, and their several uses in medicine
