Familie der Gräser: Gramineae
Familie der Gräser is a German botanical plate book on the grass family Gramineae, written by Ludwig Reichenbach and published by Hofmeister in 1846. Its pictures are hand-coloured engraved plates of grass species, each showing a flowering stem, leaf blades, and root crowns labelled with Latin names, which a designer could use for organic, fine-line botanical motifs and tonal patterns.
