The Botanie parts were edited by the French naturalists and physicians Jacques Bertrand Hombron (1798-1852), and Charles Hector Jacquinot (1796-1879), who was also a naval officer, second in command after Dumont d'Urville. Dumont D'Urville oversaw the whole series of scientific publications related to the Zélee expedition. The Prodromus, written by Montagne, was published first, in 1842. It is often missing. Published in a smaller format, it is here uncut. Two paper slips with collations in an old hand tipped in in front. The second part, on vascular plants, has some damp-staining to the lower margin (a few leaves), and, weaker, but on mare leaves, in the top margin; obviously from before binding. Clark, F. P. and A.
