References

All data presented in the Hortus Camdenensis is fully referenced. All references are embedded in the text enclosed in square brackets. Most references are given in an abbreviated form with full bibliographic information provided alphabetically here.

Conventions used in references

When a particular source is used only once or a few times an extended reference is given, sufficient to identify the text without difficulty. Example: Dodge - Useful Fiber Plants of the World p.240/1897. Included are the author’s name, main title of the publication, the page number and year of publication. For periodicals and other texts referenced frequently a shorthand format is used as follows:

Periodicals

All references to periodicals follow a common format. Example: BM t.995/1807. ‘BM’ is an abbreviation of the name of the periodical, Curtis’s Botanical Magazine. ‘t.995’ is the reference number of the article, ‘t.’ meaning ‘tab’, the convention used in this journal. In other journals ‘f.’ = folio, ‘pl.’ = ‘plate’, ‘p.’ = ‘page’, ‘no.’ = ‘number’. Some journals use a sequential numbering system over several or many volumes, others start at ‘1’ with each volume. For this reason the year of publication is always included, ‘1807’ in the example.

Non-periodical texts

Many of the non-periodical texts referenced are either arranged systematically, usually alphabetically by family or genus, or have a systematic index. As plants are easily located no chapter or page numbers are given for such books. I have deliberately used early editions where available, finding them particularly useful as they often contain information on older varieties and cultivars missing from later editions. Such early editions can often be obtained at very reasonable cost from second-hand book dealers.

Manuscript references

Most of the manuscript references are to delicate originals, letters etc., now on microfilm [MF] although some remain as original manuscripts [MS]. The Camden Park Archives are private. More details are given with each reference.
