The Magazine of Botany and Register of Flowering Plants, edited by Sir Joseph Paxton was published in London from 1834 to 1849. There were 16 volumes containing a total of 717 hand-coloured plates, either drawn and engraved by Frederick W. Smith, or drawn and lithographed by Samuel Holden. During the years of 1850-1852, Paxton along with John Lindley published the rare three-volume work: Paxton's Flower Garden.
