The book focuses on botanical illustration and description, aiming to enlighten readers about the practical aspects of gardening and plant cultivation. The content of this volume is an extensive anthology of plants, each entry featuring detailed descriptions that include their classification, natural colors, and representations. For instance, plants like the "Chironia frutescens" and "Viburnum tinus" are highlighted with specific information on their characteristics, cultivation methods, and ideal habitats.
