It holds the record as one of the longest-running serial publications in Dutch history, spanning 134 years across 28 volumes and 461 individual installments. It concluded its epic run in 1934.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003eKops famously insisted that every illustration be rendered from live specimens collected entirely from Dutch soil. This meticulous approach required a rotating army of local botanical artists, engravers, and hand-colorists over more than a century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003eUnder modern botanical taxonomy, the universally accepted valid scientific name is of the stiff saltmarsh grass is \u003cem\u003ePuccinellia rupestris.\u003c\/em\u003e Unlike common meadow bluegrasses, this species is a highly specialized halophyte. It thrives almost exclusively in high-salinity ecosystems, such as coastal saltmarshes, muddy estuaries, sand dunes, and the edges of tidal brackish ditches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Archival Finds Prints","offers":[{"title":"Photo - 13cm x 18cm","offer_id":54510314979665,"sku":"0675_Photo","price":14.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"A5 - 14.8cm x 21 cm","offer_id":54510314946897,"sku":"0675_A5","price":14.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"A4 - 21cm x 29,7cm","offer_id":54510314881361,"sku":"0675_A4","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 - 29,7cm x 42cm","offer_id":54510314914129,"sku":"0675_A3","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1046\/0977\/5953\/files\/0675_Portrait1.webp?v=1789768227","url":"https:\/\/archivalfinds.com\/products\/675-stiff-saltmarsh-grass","provider":"Archival Finds Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
