Digital Library

Welcome to the Digital Library of the Botanical Garden, which houses a small collection of botanical books, plant and seed catalogs, and scientific publications found in our library.

We have digitized numerous rare texts, starting when Google Books was not as comprehensive, and made them easily accessible to all botanical enthusiasts and researchers around the world. You can download the books in PDF format and store them in your personal digital library.

The most valuable title is Michele Tenore's Flora Napolitana, but there are also other works by important scholars of the southern Italian flora, as well as ancient catalogs of plants and seeds from the Botanical Garden. Additionally, a link is provided to the Botanical Garden's journal, Delpinoa.

We are delighted to offer this resource to all botany lovers. This page is not static but frequently enriched with new titles. Therefore, we invite you to visit it multiple times to find updates and new additions.
