Historia Plantarum

Historia Plantarum is Latin and literally means History of Plants, although better translations would be "on plants" or "treatise on plants". There has been more than one book by this title.

• Historia Plantarum (also called Enquiry into Plants/Inquiry into Plants) is the name by which is known an ancient Greek survey of botany written by Theophrastus between the 3rd and the 2nd century BC. This work was organised in ten books, and is an encyclopedia of the plant kingdom, in which a draft taxonomy is sketched, together with a basic classification of plant "elements". The work served as a reference point in botany for many centuries, and was further developed around 1200 by Giovanni Bodeo da Stapelio, who added a commentarius and drawings.
