Prima edizione, di quest’opera ancora giovanile del grande naturalista ginevrino, in cui vennero condensate le osservazioni dell’autore sulla nutrizione delle piante, sulla loro crescita, sulla funzione delle foglie ed il loro comportamento rispetto alla luce, all’umidità etc. Nel corso dello studio, effettuato in gran parte per mezzo dell’analisi microscopica, il Bonnet danneggiò irreparabilmente la sua vista. "Il s’occupa de rechercher comment les plantes se nourrissent. Il fit des expériences sur l’usage des feuilles, des quelles il resulta des faits extrêmement curieux et entièrement neufs" (Cuvier, IV/246).

First edition of this still young work of the great Genevan naturalist, in which the author's observations on plant nutrition, their growth, the function of the leaves and their behavior with respect to light, humidity, etc., were condensed. During the course of the study, performed largely by microscopic analysis, Bonnet irreparably damaged his sight. "Il s’occupa de rechercher comment les plantes se nourrissent. Il fit des expériences sur l’usage des feuilles, des quelles il resulta des faits extrêmement curieux et entièrement neufs".
