8 ARKIV FÖB BOTANIK. BAND 7. N:0 3. 



It is evident that, during his daily association with Lin- 

 naeus, Dahl received firstly duplicate sheets from his herbarium 

 (with or without notes in Linnseus's handwriting), secondly 

 loose plants which Dahl himself pasted and furnished with 

 names after Linnseus's directions. 1 



It is not inconceivable that Clas Alströmer received for 

 his herbarium a number of plants direct from Linnseus's own 

 hand (and after his death from Linné fil.). Among these can 

 be reckoned all those which (without other specification) are 

 marked in Dahl's handwriting merely with these words: »a 

 Linné P.». The Herb. Alströmer in fact comprises also plants 

 from a great number of other eminent botanists, collectors, 

 and travellers, among them many Avho contributed to Lin- 

 nseus's great herbarium. Among those, who thus (according to 

 a note of Dahl on the back of the paper, at the bottom, 

 in the centre) contributed to the Herb. Alströmer, may be 

 named the following.

 Alströmer, Clas (Provence, Pisa, Verona, Calabria, Spain,

 dorff, dr.; Broberg, gardener in Upsala (through Dahl);

1 .Most of the sheets on which Linnaeus himself made any notes are 

 of rather thin paper, and of a more yellow colour than the other sheets 

 in Herharium Alströmer. The watermark is the same in both kinds : a 

 man sitting clad in armour and helmet od, and with a hat on the point of 

 his lance, and before him a lion rampant and the device »Pro Patriae
