'This little book had its origin in the 'herborisations' of the Apothecaries' Company to the master wardens and court of assistants of which it is dedicated … Though by no means free of errors the gPlantae Woodfordiensesg served as a model for Edward Jacob's gPlantae Favershamiensesg 1777 and in 1784 Thomas Furly Forster thought it worthwhile to print some thirteen pages of 'Additions'. In one of his own copies of the book now at Wadham College Warner had made several additions for an intended reissue.' DNB Richard Warner 1713–1775 was a botanist and literary scholar who in 1748 was visited by Pehr Kalm a pupil of Linnaeus then on his way to collect plants in North America. 'Warner took him to London to Peter Collinson's garden at Peckham to visit Philip Miller at Chelsea and to see the aged Sir Hans Sloane. In 1754 Warner received from the Cape of Good Hope the so-called Cape jasmine actually the gardenia a double-flowered form of a Chinese species which flowered for the first time in his hothouse four years later.' DNB. This the author's copy represents the book in its earliest state as it is bound without the gIndex of the Latin names as given by Linnæusg with the page numerals up to p. 238 printed in square brackets. In 1784 another appendix was added with an gIndex of the English Latin namesg extending the book to 255 pages. London: Printed for the Author,
