Two pages from the article on Botany in the first edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, listing plants used in dyeing, arranged by color (yellow, red, purple, blue, violet, green, black). Each entry gives the Latin name, common English name, habitat, the plant part used, and the color obtained. The section closes with a short remark on the usefulness of botany to food, medicine, agriculture and the arts.
