Paris, Poulet-Malassis et de Broise, 1861.

Cette édition ne contient pas les six pièces condamnées en 1857, mais elle est augmentée de 35 poèmes nouveaux.

Baudelaire a dédié la nouvelle édition de ses "fleurs maladives" à son ami Théophile Gautier, "poète impeccable, au parfait magicien ès lettres françaises".
