Note: Saccardo states that in 1779 Entichio Barone and Giuseppe 
Tineo-Ragusa planted a small garden near the fortification of 
Porta-Carini, Palermo, but that the actual botanic garden, near the 
Villa Giulia, was not inaugurated until 1789 under the direction 
of Tineo-Ragusa. A letter from the present (1937) director gives 
1880 as the beginning date for G. Tineo-Ragusa.
