L. · Israel Program for Scientific Translation · 1968 · http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org · ISBN - ↩︎An immense (25 or more large volumes) and not yet completed translation of the Russian flora.

Only the briefest entry for each species, though, and some of the entries are more than a little dubious. Not for the casual reader.
