The plates are by Arckenhausen, Berghaus, Bick, Blume, Decaisne, Gordon, Latour, Lauters, and Payen, and were lithographed by A. Henrey and Cohen (Bonn), P. Lauters and G. Severeyns. Blume (1796-1862) was a German-born Dutch botanist who travelled and worked in Java, and was director first of the Buitenzorg Botanic Garden.
