Illustrations are given of the type or other representative species of approximately 700 genera, and these comprise some 1800 figures. Many are original, having been made from typical specimens of the species illustrated. The others have been copied or adapted from standard works, largely from the parts of Engler & Prantl's Pflanzenfamilien that treat of the fungi.
