About “On the cultivation of the plants belonging to the natural order of Proteeae”
"On the cultivation of the plants belonging to the natural order of Proteeae" is an 1809 paper on the Proteaceae family of flowering plants. The work was published under the name of Joseph Knight, but most of the content, except for 13 pages, is a taxonomic revision. This revision is now known to have been written by Richard Salisbury, though his name does not appear in the text. The paper focuses on cultivation methods but includes extensive taxonomic analysis. It remains a significant early contribution to the study of Proteaceae. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
