According to Güntz, 2:205, this is mentioned
as the "Kräuterbuch" of Reichart in the latter's
"Land- u. garten-schatz", th.1, kap.11, p.90.
It is of historical value in showing plants
that were grown about Erfurt at this time. See
also note under ed. of 1757-1764.

Imprint dates vary in the several copies,
but 1757-1764 are inclusive. Complete copies
should have 1200 (Pritzel gives 1254) plates,
bound in from 2-7 volumes.
An article in Gard. Chron. (3) 18:210 (Aug.
24, 1895), on &quot;Botanica in originali&quot; (1758-
1764), refers to the special interest of the
work as a record of plants grown in Germany,
probably at Erfurt, at that time, and also as
one of the first works in which nature-printing 
was employed in illustration of plants.
