‎A posthumous work, edited by Jacob Samuel Wyttenbach from material gathered by Haller for a new edition of his work «Historia stirpium indigenarum Helvetiae» (1768). The splendid copperplates show accurate illustrations of Swiss plants around the middle of the 18th century. A new edition was published in 1813.Von der 1758 durch den Berner Patrizier Vincenz Bernhard von Tscharner gegründeten Société Typographique verlegte und durch den Berner Pfarrherrn und Botaniker, Jacob Samuel Wyttenbach, besorgte Neuausgabe der prachtvollen Kupfer zu Hallers «Historia stirpium indigenarum Helvetiae» (1768), einer akkuraten Darstellung schweizerischer Pflanzen in der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts. “Kein Land konnte sich damals rühmen, seine Flora so ausgezeichnet dargestellt zu besitzen ...” (B. Studer). Schon als Jüngling durch Umgang mit Haller, Sprüngli u.a. für die Naturgeschichte begeistert, widmete sich Herausgeber Wyttenbach (1748-1830) nach vollendetem Theologiestudium mit Vorliebe botanischen Exkursionen. Mit Struve und Deluc befreundet, wurde Wyttenbach einer der bedeutendsten Förderer wissenschaftlicher Forschung in Bern und Mitbegründer wissenschaftlicher Gesellschaften.“Von besonderem Wert sind die Tafeln der Orchideen mit ihrer genauen Wiedergabe der Blütendetails” (Kat. Göttingen A. von Haller, 1977-78), No. 43. Nissen BBI 775 (mentions only 48 plates); Plesch/Sotheby 316; Pritzel 3729; Berner TB (1853), 317 (to Wyttenbach); vgl.
