Uffenbach died in 1635,* but further editions under his name 
kept appearing, at Frankfort in 1650, 1679, 1713, at Ulm in 1703, 
1713, 1737, 1765, 1776, and at Augsburg 1783. These, 
beginning 1737, bore also a long title, adding the name of 
Balthazar Ehrhart as reviser, though Meyer claims that his work 
was not evident beyond the title. Ehrhart died July, 1756, pro- 
nounced by Meyer unskilful in botany as a science, but to be 
remembered as a plant collector, especially in the Alps, and 
notable because he was first to put up collections of plants for sale.
