The beds at Pisa are ai'ranged on the geometrical plan and 

 the picture of the garden shows a perfect specimen of the 

 typical formal garden of the end of the sixteenth century. The 

 plants were grouped chiefly according to their properties and 

 morphological characteristics : Thus one finds beds for poison- 

 ous plants, prickly plants, smelling plants, bulbs and marsh 

 plants. "Aloes" {Aloe, Gasteria, etc.) were also grown and 

 are figured in the catalogue and there was a "vaporarium 

 pro plantis Americanis. " 



The lectures on "simples" delivered at the early Italian 

 universities were not at first accompanied by demonstrations 

 upon living specimens, but the growing of the plants in 



' Tliis and the remaining buildings, etc., are shown on a separate plan which 

 is not reproduced here.
