Phytographie médicale

Joseph R. Roques (1772-1850), was a French botanist and physician noted for his materia medica work "Phytographie médicale, histoire des substances héroiques et des poisons tirés du règne végétal" ('Medical phytography, a history of powerful substances and poisons from the plant kingdom'). He was a student at the University of Montpellier, enrolling in the Faculty of Medicine. He subsequently moved to Paris, becoming eminent as a botanist. The plates of his "Phytographie médicale" were drawn and engraved by Edouard Hocquart.[1]
