Köhler’s magnum
opus was published in parts from 1883-1898. The first volume was finished in
1887, eight years after his death. The set of three volumes with 283
colour-plates was a noteworthy achievement and included European plants of
medicinal interest. From the botanical standpoint the finest and most useful
series of illustrations of medicinal plants (Great flower books). The
beautiful colour-plates after illustrations by Walther Müller and C.F. Schmidt,
which were skillfully rendered in lithography by E. Günther.* Nissen BBI 1085; Great flower books p. 62; Stafleu & Cowan 3806. www.meemelink.com · index · Chenopodiaceae |
