Batsch founded the botanical garden of Jena, and also its Naturforschende Gesellschaft (~Nature-investigators' Club). Dörfelt & Heklau say that his Elenchus Fungorum is not only important for its taxonomic value (Batsch declares about 200 species in it), but is also a good Flora study "and is even today of great worth." His Versuch einer Anleitung zur Kenntniss und Geschichte der Pflanzen inquires, among other things, into the nature of what we now know to be fungal diseases of plants, but without realizing their origin.
