First issue of a detailed flora of the isle of Capraia, one of the seven islands of the Tuscan Archipelago, belonging to the Province of Livorno. Moris's six-page Stirpes Sardoae novae aut minus notae, a supplement to the first volume of his Flora Sardoa (1837), is included as an appendix with its own title-page at the end. The Stirpes Sardoae also appeared in the same year and the Florula Capraria in the following year in the Memorie della Reale Accademia delle Scienze di Torino. The plates were engraved by S. Botta after Magd. [=Domenico?] Lisa and Giusppe de Notaris, and the three after Lisa are remarkable for the subtlety of their aquatint shading.
The present copy is bound in the original wrappers, which serves a proper title-page, including the year of publication not included on the (half-) title, and wholly untrimmed, leaving broad margins, and preserving all deckles. A fine copy with only a few minor spots on the wrappers and a crack in the spine. BMC NH, p. 1351; Bradley I, p. 426; Pritzel 6460; Stafleu & Cowan 6330.
