104 THE ROYAL HERBARIUM AT MUNICH. 
The specimens are of smaller size than those of the Academical Her- 
barium, and, as yet, are placed in papers of different qualities. They will 
be incorporated into the general collection, as soon as this shall have 
been made completely accessible to the public. 
Herbarium Boicum.—By a resolution of his Majesty, the botanical 
examination of the kingdom was especially delegated to the Royal 
Academy of Sciences, and Dr. Otto Sendtner, assistant in the botanical 
conservatorium, was sent, during three years, in summer and autumn, 
to the southern parts, in order to collect phytogeographical and other 
data. It now became necessary to establish an herbarium, destined 
to comprise all the plants found in Bavaria, and communicated to the 
Royal Academy, together with all geographical information having 
reference to them, as the principal means to attain the object in con- 
templation. Besides the native plants of Bavaria, found by Sendtner, 
both on its hills and table-lands, this division of the Royal Herbarium 
received highly valuable additions from M. von Spitzel, Dr. Einsele at 
Berchtesgaden, Dr. Kummer, custos of the Royal Herbarium, the Rev. 
Mr. Ohmüller, M. von Krempelhuber at Mittewald, Professor Fürnrohr 
' at Ratisbon, the Botanical Union at Augsburg, &e. - 
Tt has been a chief object in founding this Herbarium Boicum, that each 
species should be represented as completely as possible by instructive 
specimens, gathered in the different localities of its extension ; and that 
the remarks added to it, should point out the places of growth according 
to the degree of longitude, latitude, height above the sea, as well as 
the properties of the soil, and other data calculated to establish the 
vegetable geography and statisties of the Bavarian kingdom. With 
the view of enriching this collection of plants and of phytogeographical 
facts as rapidly as possible, the Botanical Conservatorium has set on 
foot an extensive communication with patriotic and zealous botanists 
in the kingdom, aided especially by the Royal Botanical Society
