97. PuGiLLus Jamaigensixtm Plantarum, 

 G. Elmgren, 1759. 



A defcription of one hundred and thirty fpecies 

 of the more rare among the foregoing plants, made 

 from Dr. Browne's colledion, which was in the 

 hands of profeflbr Linn^^ius. 



98. NoMENCLATURA Plantarum. B. Berzcllus, 



1759- 



Contains the vernacular names of the genera of 

 plants, p2Lnicu\ar\y of European and garden kinds, in 

 Italian^ French^ Englijh^ Dutch, and German^ placed 

 in columns, oppofed to the Latin name. It would 

 have been an acquifition to have had the plan of 

 this paper extended much farther, fo as to have 

 included not only the name of the^*?;^^^, but that 

 by which each fpecies is known in the feveral coun- 

 tries a thing too much negleded by almoft ail 

 writers of local catalogues, although highly necef- 

 fary to render them more extenfively ufeful. Nay 

 farther, even the provincial names, if poffible, 

 fliould be colledled, as they are frequently very 

 different for the fame plant. Linn^us, in his 

 Flora Suecica^ is almoft the firft and only one who 

 has taken due notice of, and fupplied this defici- 

 ency. There is extant on this fubjecc the Indent 

 Plantarum Polyglottus of Mentzelius, publiihed in 

 1682 ; but the writer of this Nomenclator found it 

 infufRcient to his purpofe : neither indeed can the 

 plan be completed, otherwife than by the united 

 endeavours pf botanifts throughout the world.
