Seller's Description
Original 1872 6 1/2 inch x 9 7/8 inch coloured print titled SETARIA VIRIDIS. GREEN BRISTLE-GRASS.
Setaria viridis is a species of grass known by many common names, including green foxtail, green bristlegrass, and wild foxtail millet. It is native to Eurasia, but it is known on most continents as an introduced species and is closely related to Setaria faberi, a noxious weed. It is a hardy grass which grows in many types of urban, cultivated, and disturbed habitat, including vacant lots, sidewalks, railroads, lawns, and at the margins of fields. It is the wild antecedent of the crop foxtail millet.
Drawn by John Edward Sowerby (1825 - 1870). A British botanical illustrator and publisher born in Lambeth, London.
From a disbound copy of English Botany; or, Coloured Figures of British Plants edited by John T. Boswell Syme
Third Edition Published in London in 1872 by by Robert Hardwicke, 192 Piccadilly.
The print is in very good condition. Reverse side blank.
