This rare posthumous edition was edited by Charles Stewart of Edinburgh (fl. 1787-1817), who noted in the 'Advertisement" of the HIBD Strandell copy that "every edition of this work, for these last thirty years, has been servilely copied from the 2d edition, notwithstanding ... These [new genera, etc.] in this edition have been carefully attended to, and, it is hoped, accurately inserted. ... A few errors ... have also been carefully corrected, and some improvements occasionally introduced." The Appendix includes many binomials of recently reported species of plants from the West Indies.
