| Caesalpiniaceae - Copaifera langsdorffii From: Darstellung und Beschreibung sämtlicher in der Pharmacopoea Borusica aufgeführten offizinellen Gewächse by Otto Carl Berg & Carl Friedrich Schmidt.

Berg was professor of pharmaceutical botany at Berlin University. Schmidt both drew and
lithographed the plates. He was a prolific artist who illustrated many of the
German botanical works of the 19th century. Jackson describes this work, a
survey of plants used in the Prussian pharmacopoeia, as A thoroughly good book,
probably the very best of its class; both in text and illustrations.* Pritzel 646; Jackson p. 203*; Nissen BBI 139; Stafleu & Cowan 10.873. |
