I thought the same as you...1000 Magical Herbs & Fungi was
referenced only in Potions class in OotP, not before...Personally 
I noticed since I had scoured HP1-4 for any book titles & authors so
I could make them as props for my Hogwarts party last year...I had 
always assumed 1000 Magical Herbs & Fungi was a Herbology text, so I 
was surprised when Harry used it in Potions in OotP.  Sorry I can't 
give the page ref, since my copy of OotP is now with my mother out of
town...I had to read it twice before I'd allow her to have custody... 
:)

Oh, if anyone's interested, here's the link to my Hogwarts party last
