摘要《本草图经》草部、木部共有药图568幅，占总药图的60%，占植物药图的76%。这些药图可分为“原植物图”“药材图”“植物与药材图”“植物及其生境图”4个类型。“原植物图”中又可细分为“有根部的完整植株图”“有根的局部地上部分图”“绘有地面线的植株图”“无根植株图”“折枝图”5个类型。其中，“折枝图”“有根部的完整植株图”等药图的取材与今采集植物标本的基本原则完全一致；“植物与药材图”与“药材图”这两种药图类型反映出《本草图经》的编者是在依据药材市场调查或征集到的药材标本绘制的。这些药图对物象刻画细致入微，不仅反映了药用植物和药材的特征，而且具有很高的艺术性。《本草图经》药图与“图经”内容相辅相成，将绘画艺术与自然科学相结合，是为早期植物科学画的雏形。
