It is evident from this list, that the Herb. Alströmer re- 

 ceived contributions from many persons who sent botanical 

 collections also to Linné according to his autograph memoirs 

 of himself. It is very probable that a great many specimens 

 from such botanists first passed through Linnaeus's hands 

 before Alströmer received them, but all such plants about 

 which this is not known for certain, will not be counted here. 

 (The plants from Dalberg, P. Browne and Gmelin however 

 are all from Linnaeus's herbarium). 



Montin's herbarium. 



Lars Johan Montin (1723 — 1785) was Linnaeus's pupil 

 in Upsala. At his instigation he made a botanical expedition 

 to Lule Lappmark and the adjoining regions of Norway in 

 1749. From this journey he brought back a rich collection 

 of both preserved and living plants. He became »Provincial- 

 Medicus» in Halmstad and investigated very carefully the 

 surrounding country for botanical purposes. (One of his 

 neighbours was P. Osbeck, Linnaeus's pupil, known for his 

 successful botanical journey to East India and China and 

 from 1759 vicar and dean of Hasslöf near Laholm.) 



Montin's herbarium is now to be found in its entirety 

 in the State Natural Histo^ Museum in Stockholm, although 

 unfortunately it had up till now had its place in a lumber- 

 room. 1 This herbarium must have been one^of the richest
