Moss, was planned as a ten-volume encyclopaedic survey of the flora of Britain, with accounts of critical genera contributed by specialists. The two published volumes are of a very high standard, (...). The Press delayed further volumes until financial restraints eased, (...). By 1923, no further volumes had been published. (...) In July of that year the Press decided that the work "should not proceed under the current contract"." (Bunting, M.J., Briggs, D. and Block, M. The Cambridge Britsh Flora (1914-1920) in Watsonia 20).

= Pritzel 6557 and 6558; Bibl. Wall. 6760; Hunt 360; not in Nissen. Interesting attempt to identify a plant called Britannica by the ancient authors, which was used to cure scurvy.

The second, most important work is a treatise on succulents, recently brought from America, illustrated with 8 plates. This work, although dated one year earlier, contains the index and errata of the first work at the end. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CXIV.
