Köhler's Medicinal Plants (or,Köhler's Medizinal-Pflanzen) is a Germanherbal written principally by Hermann Adolph Köhler (1834–1879, physician and chemist), and edited after his death by Gustav Pabst. The work was first published in the late 19th century by Franz Eugen Köhler ofGera. Its complete title isKöhler's Medizinal-Pflanzen in naturgetreuen Abbildungen mit kurz erläuterndem Texte : Atlas zur Pharmacopoea germanica, austriaca, belgica, danica, helvetica, hungarica, rossica, suecica, Neerlandica, Britishpharmacopoeia, zum Codex medicamentarius, sowie zur Pharmacopoeia of the United States of America.
Originally, Köhler published the herbal in two volumes: the first in 1887, the second in 1890. Volume one is illustrated with 84 full-page, multi-colour plates, and volume two with 110. A third volume was added in 1898, entitledNeueste Medizinalpflanzen und Verwechslungen, which is a supplement containing additions and corrections. Among the additions are 80 more colour plates. A fourth volume was announced by the publisher, but never released. All the colour plates in the herbal were produced through a process calledchromolithography. Thebotanical illustrators wereWalther Otto Müller,C. F. Schmidt, and K. Gunther.
Areprint was published in Germany a century after the original, first of extracts of the work, later the complete three volumes.
The nameKöhler is sometimescorrupted toKoehler orKohler.
Because of the identical names of first author and publisher, frequently Franz Eugen Köhler is erroneously mentioned as the author of the book.
