Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae
Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae is a series of papers written by the Victorian Government botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in which he published many of his approximately 2000 descriptions of new taxa of Australian plants.[1] Including the plant genera of; Reedia (belonging to the family Cyperaceae),[2] and Acomis (in the daisy family).[3] The papers were issued in 94 parts between 1858 and 1882 and published in 11 volumes.[4][5] Though a 12th volume was apparently planned, it was not published.[5] It is the only scientific periodical in Australia that has been completely written in Latin.[1]
One of the illustrators of the series was Ludwig Becker.[6]
