Italiana, of which five volumes appeared between 1848 and 1874; the next five were issued by Teodoro Caruel (to 1894) with the assistance of Parlatore's manuscript. This work stands in high repute among all botanists. Mention should also be made of Lezioni di botanica comparata (Florence, 1843) and Monographia delle fumarie (Florence, 1844). To the sixteenth volume of De Candolle's Prodromus, Parlatore contributed the accounts of the conifers and gnetaceae; to Webb's Histoire naturelle des îles Canaries (Paris, 1836–50), the accounts of the umbelliferae and graminae. In 1842, Pierre Edmond Boissier named a genus of plants from Middle Asia as Parlatoria (part of the Brassicaceae family).
