A REVISION OF KALM S HERBARIUM IN UPSALA 
1 9 
After having now enumerated, in this and in my previous paper, 
all the species which have been described with references to Kalm’s 
specimens, I will pass on to the specimens in Kalm’s collection in Upsala 
which belong to such species or have been identified with them by Kalm. 
In the list given below I have also added some specimens which seem 
to be of some interest for other reasons. With regard to the notes on 
the sheets the following facts are to be noticed. Kalm has not written 
LlNNEAUS’ binomials, but the diagnoses (specific names of LlNN.) and 
numbers of the species in Sp. pi. 1753. His other notes are written in 
Swedish and are here reproduced in English. Thunberg has chiefly 
written LlNNEAUS’ binomials, and the same names are in general to be 
found in his catalogues of this collection (Mus. nat. Acad. Upsal. XVI, 
XXVII, diss. Upsal. 1805, 1810). 
The sign * indicates such species as were described first by LlNNEAUS. 
Chamcccyparis thyoides (L.) B. S. P. One specimen, correctly determined by Thunb. 
and mentioned in his catalogue; nothing written by Kalm. 
Panicum clandestinum L. One specimen, so named by Kalm. It is sterile, but re¬ 
sembles this species in other respects. 
*Trisetum pensylvanicum (L.) Beauv. Of this there are two specimens. On one 
Kalm has written »Avena palustris novte CsesareEC. flor. Canad. mss.», on the second »Avena 
palustris Pennsylvania». On both, as also in the catalogue, Thunb. has the erroneous de¬ 
termination: »Holcus mollis». These specimens are perhaps of some value, for in Ind. Kew. 
A. pensylvanica L. is said to be a dubious species. 
Aletris farinosa L. One specimen, correctly named by Kalm. 
Allium canadense L. One specimen, so named by Kalm. The bulb is missing, but 
otherwise it seems to agree with this species. 
Helonias bullata L. Two specimens, correctly determined by Kalm. 
*Smilax rotimdifolia L. To this species evidently belongs a specimen which Kai.m 
has determined as S. laurifolia L. 
Uvularia sessili/olia L. One specimen, correctly determined by Kalm. 
Comandra umbellata (L.) Nutt. One specimen, correctly determined by Kalm. 
*Polygonella articulata (L.) Meisn. One specimen, correctly determined by Thunb., 
Kalm has only written »682». 
* Polygonum erectur/i L.? There is a specimen on which Kalm has written »Polygo¬ 
num Pennsylvanicum erectum», and Thunb. »P. pensylvanicum». It has the habitus of P. 
erectum L., as this species is described and delineated in the floras, but it differs in having 
the beak of the achene protruding. Perhaps it may be P. exsertum Small, of which I have 
seen no specimens. 
Anemone quinquefolia L. One specimen, correctly determined by lvALM. 
Syndesmon thalictroides (L.) Hoffmgg. One specimen, correctly determined by Kalm. 
*Thalictrum dioicum L. Two specimens, on which Kalm has written »Thalictrum 
Amer. foliolis multilobis. Flor. Canad. mss.» One is female, the other, on which he has 
added the Avord »minus», is male. 
Arabis lyrata L. To this species belongs a specimen which Kalm has identified with 
Cardamine virginica L. 
Potentilla canadensis L. A specimen, so determined by Kalm. It belongs to the 
species which in modern American floras is called P. pumila Poir.
