The Botanical Register

The Botanical Register

"The Botanical Register", subsequently known as "Edwards's Botanical Register", was an illustrated horticultural magazine that ran from 1815 to 1847. It was started by the botanical illustrator Sydenham Edwards, who had previously illustrated "The Botanical Magazine", but left after a dispute with the editors. Edwards edited five volumes of "The Botanical Register" in five years, before his death in 1819. During this period, the text was provided by John Bellenden Ker Gawler, and Edwards himself provided paintings, which were engraved and hand-coloured by others.

After Edwards' death, editorial duties passed to the publisher, James Ridgeway, who issued a further nine volumes between 1820 and 1828. In 1829, John Lindley was appointed editor, and he adopted the title "Edwards's Botanical Register". A further nineteen volumes were issued before the magazine was discontinued in 1847. In 1839, Lindley also issued an "Appendix to the Firsty Twenty-Three Volumes of Edwards's Botanical Register", which included his "A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony".
