Title: Botanica Pharmaceutica exhibens plantas officinalis quarum nomina indispensatoris recentur, cum Iconibus… Plate 61. Iris germanica.
Description: Berolini (Berlin), 1788. Folio-size (36.0 x 22.2 cm) delicately hand-coloured loose engraving of plants with printed caption. = The Pharmaceutica is a very rare work; it is seldom found complete - even individual plates of plants are rare. This print shows the bearded iris, or German bearded iris. This plate is in excellent condition; only some very minor and vague, marginal spotting, left edge a bit rough; very light toning at the edges, some very light creasing; no dents or tears present. The colours are very strong and natural. Nissen BBI, 784; Stafleu and Cowan (under 2834) "Not seen".
