De Candolle was also among the first to recognize the difference between the morphological and physiological characteristics of organs. He ascribed plant morphology as being related to the number of organs and their positions relative to each other rather than to their various physiological properties. Consequently this made him the first to attempt to attribute specific reasons for structural and numerical relationships amongst organs and thus to distinguish between major and minor aspects of plant symmetry. To account for modifications of symmetry in parts of different plants an occurrence that could hinder the discovery of an evolutionary relationship de Candolle introduced the concept of homology. De Candolle originated the idea of "Nature's war" which influenced Charles Darwin and the principle of natural selection. de Candolle recognized that multiple species may develop similar characteristics that did not appear in a common evolutionary ancestor; a phenomenon now known as convergent evolution. During his work with plants de Candolle noticed that plant leaf movements follow a near-24-hour cycle in constant light suggesting that an internal biological clock exists. Though many scientists doubted de Candolle's findings experiments over a century later demonstrated that "the internal biological clock" indeed exists. First British edition. Cloth. Good.

The engravings are by by L. Fea S. Botta H. Mil and A. Nizza after drawings by M. Lisa and J.C. Heyland; there is a presentation inscription in Latin in the first volume from the author to Sir Charles James Fox Bunbury. Lacking the final volume which was not published until 1857. The fact that the plates volume is here labelled Volume III suggests that Bunbury received these from the author in 1843 and the final volume was never presented. The author was a botanist at Cagliari then at Turin where he subsequently became Director of the Botanical Gardens. His primary investigations were on the flora of Sardinia of which this work is the first and still the most complete and detailed account. Sir Charles Bunbury was a keen botanist and geologist with a particular interest in paleobotany. He collected plant specimens on expeditions to South America in 1833 and South Africa in 1838. He also accompanied his great friend Sir Charles Lyell the geologist on an expedition to Madeira. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1851. From Bunbury the set moved to the Leipzig collector and antiquary Oswald Weigel with his small stamp. Also in each volume is the later bookplate of Kenneth Lazenby a founding member of the Alpine Garden Society. The map is an addition to the published work and is equally rare - "Carta della Sardegna annessa alla 1a parte del viaggio in cetta Isola del Colonello A. della Marmora. 2da Edizione. Carte de la Sardaigne annexee a la 1e´re partie du voyage en cette Ile par le Colonel A. de la Marmora.". Although lacking the later volume this set remains very attractive due to its condition provenance and the additional map. First Edition. Half-Leather. Very Good. Ex Regio Typographeo Hardcover
