LINNEAN lIBRBAmUM. 21 



Wagneb, Joiianxes Gerhaed (1706-1759). His contributions 



are noted in the ' Hortus Upsaliensis.' 

 Waxsteom (or Wenstrom), S. M. Named iu connection with 



two iS'orth African plants. 

 Weigbl, Christian Ehkenjfried (1748-1831). Plants from 



Greifswald. 

 A\^ILCKE, iSAMUEL GUSTAY [?] (fl. 1700-1705; d. 1791). 

 WuLEEN, Franz Xater, Freiherr von (1728-1805). Professor 



at Klagenfurt ; sent Austrian plants. 

 ZiNN, JoHANN Gottfried (1727-1759). Named as a contributor 



of plants, in the preface to the second edition of tlie 



' Species Plantarum.' 

 ZoEGA, JoHAN (1742-1797). A Danish pupil highly esteemed by 



Linne : " If Fabricius brings me an nisect, or Zoega a moss, 



I take off my hat and say, ' Ye are my teachers,' " Fries, 



" Linne," ii. Bil. xviii. 9. 



The citations in the foregoing are mainly from Linne's own 

 autobiography in the 'Egenhiindiga anteckniugar,' edited by Adam 

 Afzelius in 1823 ; in the words of a translation from the manu- 

 script printed in Maton's edition of Pulteney's 'Linnaeus' in 

 1805, pp. 543-547, and condensed in Proc. Linn. Soc. 1887-88, 

 pp. 20-22 ; see the Eibliography appended (p. 2-5). 



Linne as a Collector. 



Thus far we have considered the contribution to the herbarium ; 

 the next question is, how far did Linne himself collect specimens ? 

 His own statements are these: — "I have collected, from my 

 infancy, all the plants of Sweden, together with those of the 

 Swedish gardens" (Maton's ed. of Pulteney's 'Linnaeus,' p. 574), 

 but the following, copied from j). 515 of the same work, is some- 

 what discrepant ; it describes him becoming acquainted with dried 

 plants only, while living with Dr. K. Stobseus at Lund in 1727. 

 " He was highly delighted with the mode of making a hortus 

 siccus, and immediately began to collect all the plants that grew in 

 the neighbourhood of Lund, and to glue them on paper." After 

 deserting Lund for Uppsala, in the spring of 1729, he told Prof. 

 Olof Celsius that he " had above 600 indigenous plants preserved 

 in his cabinet." From liints in his works, and from indications in 

 his herbarium, he seems to have collected at various times, such as 

 his Lapland journey: wlien at Tuggenforsen in Lycksele Lappmark 

 he gathered and named for the first time the Linvcea borealis, on 

 29th May, 1732, though the genus is stated to be of Gronovius upon 

 a scrap which he gave his friend in 1735. His three journeys to 

 Oland and Gotland, West Gotland, and Skane, produced additions ; 

 but many plants are those gathered in the Uppsala Garden, the 

 produce of those innumerable packets of seeds, sent year after 

 year to him, from a more genial climate, and now recognisable in 

 the herbarium under the initials H. U., i. e. Hortus Upsaliensis.
