Memorials of Linnaus 



THIRD CASE 



1 PAUL HERMANN'S HERBARIUM OF CEYLON PLANTS. 

 One of four volumes comprising a herbarium of Ceylon plants 

 collected by Paul Hermann, Professor of Botany at Leyden, 

 in 16701677 ; his Museum Zeylanicum (1717) is a cata- 

 logue of the herbarium. It was sent in 1745 by Augustus 

 Gunther, an apothecary at Copenhagen, to Linnaeus, who based 

 upon it his Flora Zey/anica, published at Stockholm in 1747. 

 The large writing is that of Hermann and corresponds with 

 the descriptions in the Museum Zeylanicum^ which is also 

 exhibited. The small writing in ink is that of Linnaeus, and 

 corresponds with the citation in the Flora Zeylanica (also shown) ; 

 his numbers are those of the plants in his book. The her- 

 barium was bought in 1793 by Sir Joseph Banks from Professor 

 Treschow of Copenhagen, and is now in the Department of 

 Botany.
