Die Orchideen der deutschen Flora nebst denen des übrigen Europa, des ganzen russischen Reichs und Algiers : also ein Versuch einer Orchideographie Europas
Die Orchideen der deutschen Flora is a botanical monograph by Ludwig Reichenbach, published by Hofmeister in 1851 in Germany, aimed at botanists and naturalists studying European orchids. Its plates are hand-coloured engravings of orchid species, each showing the whole plant with tubers and roots, enlarged flower parts, and dissected floral segments arranged around a central specimen, a clear scientific layout a designer could borrow for diagrammatic botanical sheets.
