maica plants that Wikström has written »Herb. Solandri ex 

 Herbario Linnsei» or »Ex Herb. Linnseano accepit Solander». 

 As to how Solander 's herbarium got to the Natural History 

 Museum, only this much is known that a number of these 

 plants belong to the large Herb. Casström, which was left 

 by its owner S. N. Casström (1763—1827) to the K. Veten- 

 skapsakademien . 1 



It is possible that Linné fil. took over these plants from 

 Solander, who died in London in 1782 during Linné fil:s' 

 stay there. 



Solander's herbs are as a rule very reliably classified. 

 Some of them have no classification, because they had not 

 yet been described by Linnaeus. In some cases the name of 

 the species has been inserted at a later period in the 

 handwriting of Linné fil. (It is already said that 

 Linné pater has written the name in some of the sheets). 

 It may therefore be assumed that a number of Solander's 

 plants remained after his departure in Linnseus's herbarium 

 or at least in »Herbarium parvum» (see above, p. 5). 



It merely remains to be mentioned that a small number 

 of plants, some from Linné, some from Hort. Ups., seem to 

 carry Löflings and Osbeck's handwritings. Similarly a few 

 Linnsean plants are met with in Herb. Casström. The an- 

 notations in Linnseus's hand which are found on the sheets 

 have been certified by Casström with the following written 

 words: »Autographon divi Linncei». 



The plants from Linnaeus (and Linné fil.), as well as from 

 Hortus Upsaliensis during Linnseus's lifetime, which the Swe- 

 dish Natural History Museum thus possesses amount to about 

 2,000. They have now been gathered together into a Her- 

 barium Linnceanum, arranged according to Linnseus's system. 

 \ :i large number of these Linnsean plants have some note 

 in Linnseus's own hand and many of them are very valuable 

 specimens, a list of the herbarium should, prove of use to 



' According to a statement in Kongl. Vetenskaps-Academiens Handl. 

 of the year 1828, p. 288. where the information is also given that this great 

 herbarium was contained in .'{•> cases.
