Note: As early as about 1288 there existed at the Vatican a phar- 
maceutical garden (not for instruction), planted by Simone Ge- 
nuense, physician to Pope Niccolo IV. Also Niccolo V had a 
similar garden at the Vatican about 1447, “ filled with all kinds of 
herbs.” A true scientific garden for instruction was instituted at 
the Vatican about 1566 by Michele Mercati, physician of Clement 
VIII, and a pupil of Cesalpino. The Botanic Garden of Rome 
was founded at the Vatican, says Saccardo (La Botanica in Italica. 
Venezia, 1895. p. 193), under Alexander VIII, about 1660, and 
was under the direction of G. B. Trionfetti. In 1870 the garden 
was relocated at Via Panisperma, 89B, Rome. Subsequently, its 
address was Via Milano 75.
