General
Summary and criticisms of Jacques Barbeu-Dubourg (1709–1779) Le botaniste français, comprenant toutes les plantes communes et usuelles disposées suivant une nouvelle méthode et décrites en langue vulgaire (Paris, 1767). Adanson alleges the classes proposed by Dubourg to be unnatural, and the treatment of families, extracted from Adanson’s Familles des plantes, to be extremely abbreviated.
