"According to the title, Magnol describes and illustrates a number of plants for the first time as well as illustrating some that had only been described verbally in [Caspar] Bauhin's [1560-1624] Prodomus (i.e. Prodromos theatri botanici, 1620, though it seems more likely that he refers to Pinax Theatri botanici, 1623)."--Bookseller Roger Gaskell description.
