The four volumes series was a remarkable accomplishment that included medicinal plants from many European countries and some Latin American as well. The main characteristic of this publication was its almost 300 illustrations drawn by artists L.Müller & C-F- Schmidt, skilfylly printed on chromolithography by K.Gunther.
It has been described as the most fine and useful illustration series of medicinal plants, from the botanic point of view.
