fere aatate ceb yiri Breynius, Hermann, Raempfer, Petiver et Plukenett specics 

 quasdam novas addiderunt. Uti cr^ Morisson, Ray et Totjrnefort prima funda- 

 menta systcmaticoe Filicum dispositionis debcmuSj ita immorlalis LiNNyEus non 

 modo genera earum certiora condiditj sed et species circiter triginta Indice 

 orientalis terrarumque confmium divulgavit. Ab incrementis la^tissimis inde, 

 qiioe viri illustrissimi ingenio historia naturalis, et prccscrtim Botanice cepit, 

 Cryptogamologia in gcnerCj et hinc Filicum cognitio celerrimc progressa est. 

 Sane ncminem inter rei herbarios peritos fugit, quam prosclare viri egregii 

 Smith, SwartZj Bernhardi, Willdenow, temporibusque no^^issimis R. Brown, 

 Raulfuss ahique, quorum nomiiia singiUatim recitare longum foret, de pul- 

 cherrima ista famiha meriti fuerint. Hinc fieri non potuitj quin numerus haud 

 ita exiguus Filicum Indice orientalis regionumque adjaccntium pernotesceret. 

 Ita BoRY DE St.-Vincent, vir in Florac delubris aeque ac in Martis castris ver- 

 satus, plus 70 species cx insuhs Mauriiii clBorhoniw protuht, et longe plures 

 adhuc in scriniis suis esse reconditas innuit; cL Burmann ex herbario ditissimo, 

 quod cel. Hermann rehquit, spccies nonnullas Zeylanicas edidit; viro solertissimo 

 Cavanilles species circiter decem e Philippinis, totidcmque cl'^ Desvaux ex 

 insuhs Mauritiiet Borhonice debemus; viri cl' DoNj Hamilton, Hooker, Roxburgh 

 et Wallich e thesauris immensis Nepaul Inclioiojue fmitimte species plus 80 

 novas in lucem ediderunt, quarum copia adhuc major cl' Wallich Tentanicn
