C. A. M. LINDMAN, A LINNEAN HERBARIUM. 13 



accordingly have been permitted to collect plants in the aca- 

 demical garden), or obtained by purchase from persons who 

 received the plants from Hort. Ups., e. g. med lic. Hall, Sal- 

 berg, Salomon, and others. As to the gardener Nietzel, it 

 may reasonably be asked how he could dispense with such 

 a large number of herbs, and such numerous and fine speci- 

 mens of them. Whether this took place with the permission 

 of the director is a question which must remain unanswered. 

 The probability is that Montin compensated Linnaeus in Swedish 

 (and foreign?) plants, especially living plants for the garden. 

 In a letter from Löfling (1761) we read that Montin likewise 

 sent plants (in exchange?) to Jussieu. 



Finally it should be mentioned with regard to Herb. 

 Montin., that a number of plants, but not a very considerable 

 one, were received from Linnaeus in person, e. g. »Donum 

 Nobil. Arch, et Equit. D:ni a Linné»; »Specimen misit Nobil. 

 Arch, et Equ. de Stella bor. D:nus a Linné»; »Faventer . . . 

 Linné hoc specimen communicavit»; likewise some from Linné 

 fil. : »Specimen novae speciei ex Horto Ups. misit D:nus Caro- 

 lus von Linné 1779», etc. etc. 



In order to shew the great value of the Herb. Montin.

 tions to it.
