Illustrations of plants which were of pharmaceutical interest in the early 1800s. It is believed they were used for teaching in the Materia Medica classes in the Faculty of Medicine at Anderson's University.

The illustrations appear to fall into two groups: hand-coloured engravings from Wagner's 'Pharmaceutische-Mediziner Botanik' (1828), and a series of hand-coloured drawings by an unknown artist. It is not certain, however, that this grouping is correct. There is also a list, probably of the Wagner engravings, which shows that many illustrations are now missing.
