Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
Extensive searches of scholarly catalogs (including UNESCO Index Translationum and major academic databases) have yielded no evidence of a complete English translation of Albertus Magnus's 'De Vegetabilibus'. While the work is frequently cited in academic literature and discussed in studies of medieval science, no full translation exists. The metadata enrichment suggestion of a 1992 translation by Michael Wyckoff appears to be a hallucination or a confusion with other works by Albertus Magnus (such as his 'De Animalibus', which has been translated). Therefore, this work remains untranslated in its entirety.
