… and seed of tobacco, grown there, to Satchell. The plants we grew and the herbarium specimens were N. tabacum. As I remember it the variety involved was close to the first il- lustrations of tobacco in the herbals. It should be possible to verify the above statements if of interest to you or they may be familiar to you. Unfortunately, there is nothing in our herbarium re N. rustica. Sauer says (p. 46) that it was "grown from Chile to Quebec." I fear that for the west coast of South America aboriginal cultivation data he must have relied upon Ricardo Latcham's (cf. p. 59) amazing book on pre-Columbian agriculture …

Parts I-V deal with distribution, morphology, and cytology of species and F interspecific hybrids, and with phyletic. For part VI, on taxonomy, the author had the assistance of H. M. Wheeler and P.

TRANSACTIONS of the BIBLIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. VOL. VI Pages. 63 - 126. ON THE "HERBARIUS" AND "HORTUS SANUTATUS." by Joseph Frank Payne, M.D., Oxon, F.R.C.P. (Harveian Librarian to the Royal College of Physicians.) Read 21 January, 1901. The object of this paper is to describe the earliest printed books in European literature devoted to the illustration of Natural History; to fix the date and order of the several works known by the names of "Herbarius" and "Hortus Sanitatis"; to show their connection with one another, and with some other works of the same class. The materials for this essay have been mainly derive …

He thought that the roots were concerned with nutrition and realized that the stem was involved in food transfer, he did not understand the function of the leaf but went to great lengths to describe the diversities that leaves assume.

… ogeography (on the distribution of the plants and their ecology). It will include also works on the history of botany in Mexico, travel and descriptive works, vocabularies with names of Mexican plants, and botanical texts published in Mexico. The excerpt which follows lists travel and descriptive works, written before 1800, which include references to Mexican plants. Some are limited to the American area; others cover the entire world, as then known. Titles referring to the same period, but which are limited to Mexico, will be published, it is planned, in a later issue. Works whose primary emphasis is on natural …

… her psychotomimetic plants that have left their mark in history are illuminated by succinct quotations from familiar or obscure publications, both ancient and modern. The majority of the 14 black and white illustrations (two transcendent Cocteau drawing are included) are borrowed from Emboden's well known book on narcotic plants, but of course the brilliance of the original plates has been lost. It is a minor mystery (perhaps appropriate in a book filled with witchcraft, sorcery, and magic) why the author chose to reproduce an indifferent halftone of Amanita muscaria from an early edition of Strassburger's famous …

Persistent Remaindering (Pena and de l'Obel's Adversaria, 1570-1618) By ALBERT E. LOWNES PIERRE Pena and Matthias de l'Obel's Stirpium Adver- saria Nova (London, 1570-1571) is a herbal memorable for many things, not the least of which is that it contains the first engraved representations of the true tobacco plant (Nicotiana tabacum) and, beside it on the plate, the first picture of a man in the act of smoking." Thus Lawrence C. Wroth an- nounced the addition of a remarkable book to the John Carter Brown Library. If space had permitted, Dr. Wroth might have pointed out some of the things that make the volume memo …

2 apothecaries in those days representing general practitioners as well as drug- ists. On the succeeding year he published a relation of his plant-hunting excursions - "simpiling voyages", as he called them - into Kent and to Hampstead Heath. This was the first printed account of such expeditions to appear in this country. On the journey into Kent, the party, which consisted of ten persons, travelled by two boats from St. Paul's to Gravesend, encountering a storm on the way. At Queenborough their journey was delayed by the Mayor, who desired the attendance of three or four of them to know the business of so large …

… barium sheet, signed and dated. For anyone to erase such a note comes close to forgery! Dr. E.D. Merrill - truly the Linnaeus of the Pacific - long in the Philippines and my former Director at the New York Botanical Garden, increased the value of the herbaria under his charge as research tools still more. He saved the valuable time of experts by "including the Library in the Herbarium." This "inclusion" needs explaining: He did not have botanical books removed from the library shelves & stuck in herbarium cases with plants. The library remained the library. But whenever the library possessed inexpensive duplicate …

… to the Collection are under consideration. In the mean time there is much to be done, and I would make the following proposals: 1. That a collection of full-sized photographs of representative examples of botanical illustration of all periods and all countries should be begun. This should also include specimens of the best engraved work, so that it would be possible frequently to hold changed exhibitions such as, e.g.: 1. The incunabula herbals 2. Fuchs and Brunfels 3. Nicolas Robert and his contemporaries 4. French flower painters from Robert to Redouté 5. Ehret and his circle 6. The illustrators of the Botanic …

Its illustrations are highly stylized, are presumably more of Mediterranean than of Central European plants.... What is true, are they all German plants or Mediterranean plants? I am inclined to believe you and Payne, but you must admit it is confusing. Furthermore, our copy has no colored illustrations, has no title page and has this peculiar binding (I believe you said it was dog's leather). Please let me know what you know about our copy and how we acquired it (I know it is in the Sturtevant catalogue). I am enclosing a xerox copy of two pages of Kleeb's A catalogue of early Herbals; mostly from the well-known …

… some changes, many of them important for present day work. The depth of the Garden's library collections in this particular respect is typical, especially for the fields of plant taxonomy and distribution, botanical history, and botanical illustration. The single original dissertation lacking from the Garden's collection is Anthropomorpha (animals of manlike form), in which Christian E. Hoppius of St. Petersburg, presented the history of the Simia genus (apes). Pretty certainly Linnaeus stuck his neck out further than in any other of his publications, as he instructed his student to recognize four species: Pygmae …

… to pay for the prints sent here. If the print shows the habit and habitat of the plant it is adequate for the purpose mentioned. Remember they are for a herbarium-botanist and not for an art-exhibit. It is botanical utility and not photographic excellence which should decide whether they should be used or not. Dr. Goodspeed made some grand photos of the fresh flowers of Calceolaria (at Berkeley). Please try to continue the photographing of fresh flowers in the cultures at Berkeley. Particularly Calceolaria, and the bulbous monocots. I am a hundred percent for all possible photographs. You ask regarding that so-ca …

The text is not a translation of Fuchs through, but took Fuchs as a model for the order of description each frame includes the localities + times of flowering of the least countries, things which clearly were not taken from Fuchs. Fuchs used the alphabetical arrangement. Dodens arranged his plans according to their uses - properties + then according to their forms + apparatus.
