When Alexander von Humboldt published the results of the expedition he had undertaken to Latin America between 1799 and 1804 he devoted more pages and plates to botany than to all of the other sciences combined. This research was the joint effort of three outstanding figures: Alexander von Humboldt, Aimé Bonpland and Carl Sigismund Kunth, whose names will forever be associated with botanical exploration. This book considers the scale of the contribution Humboldt, Bonpland and Kunth made to recording the diversity of the plant kingdom and forges links between the published account and the corresponding source material. A selection of eighty-two plates illustrates the diversity and beauty of the plants that the botanists discovered and studied in tropicalAmerica.
