The catalogue is arranged alphabetically by the Latin names of the plants and provides a detailed description of each species, including its habitat, growth habit, and uses. The book also includes a glossary of botanical terms and an index of common names. Hortus Cantabrigiensis is an important historical document that provides valuable insight into the state of botany and horticulture in the early 19th century.
