Note: Mobius (Geschichte und Beschreibung des botanischen 
Gartens zu Frankfurt a. M. Senkenbergische Naturforsch. 
Gesellsch. Bericht. 34: 117-154. 1903) states that the plan of the 
botanic garden of the University of Uppsala served Senkenberg as 
his model. This plan still exists (says Mobius) in the archives of 
the Senkenberg Foundation. Senkenberg said that his “ Hortus 
Medicus” should not be an ornamental or commercial, but a 
medical garden.
