Wallich, after Mr.Frederick Louis Holboell, Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Garden at Copenhagen,
" an experienced botanist, and a contributor to Hornemann's Fora Daniae
oeconomica." Dr. Wallich also calls him "amicus et praeceptor carissimus." They belong, with a few other plants, to a small
natural order named Lardizabalads, the type of which is a Peruvian climber called
Lardizabala biternata. Of these Hollbollias, the "Broad-leaved and the Narrow-leaved, the first has been. figured
in the Botanical Register, for 1846, t. 49. The Narrow-leaved does not seem to be in cultivation.

Paxton produced The Magazine of Botany, and Register of
Flowering Plants. This series of magazines was published in London 1834-1849.
During the years of 1850-1852, Paxton along with John Lindley published the rare
three-volume work: PAXTON’S FLOWER GARDEN. Represented are many exotic species
especially fine Orchids. They are often compared to the early volumes of Warner
and Williams, Orchid Album. The print offered for sale here is from this first

edition frequently found. These prints were produced using a zincographic
process along with hand coloring and have the plate markings Pinx & Zinc.
