This is a second edition of PAT-34. The main difference seems to be in the layout of the work, where now the second edition has more paragraphs, making for easier reading. Dodoens's descriptions of grains, legumes, marshy plants, and water plants give details about the plant, including histories, and also list the common plant names in other languages, such as Greek, German, Belgian, Italian, and French.

Subjects: Botany--Pre-Linnean works.
