Species Plantarum, Sections VI-X

Navigation: Finding Species

If you are comfortable with your browser’s address bar you can go directly to any genus or species in this document. Put your insertion point at the end of the current address without changing or deleting anything. After the letters “html”, type # followed by the genus or species name, like this:

A few species had to be given alternate anchor names to avoid conflicts. You can also use your browser’s “Find” function to search for names or other text.

Sources

This section will be repeated in each installment of the text, with additions and corrections as they become available.

All sources that could be identified are listed here in alphabetical order. If you have additions or corrections to the list, please contact Lucy2424 at sbcglobal dot net or errata at pglaf dot org.

An increasing number of these sources are available online. To fill in gaps in this segment, some citations from Reede (“Rheed. mal.”) were individually checked.

Texts by Linnæus himself (“Propria”) are not listed. Four sources—Hasselquist, Kalm, Loefling, Osbeck—appear to have been students. Most of their citations would today be called “personal communication”.

Note that the title pages of published books will often have different inflectional endings than those listed: for example, a title given as “Plantæ Rariores” might appear in print as “Libri Decem Plantarum Rariorum”. The words “Listed as” refer to the “Auctores” pages at the beginning of the volume.
