* (So named by Linnaeus in honor of his beloved friend, Dr. John Bartsch, of Konings- 
berg, a most ingenious young man of great promise, devoted to the study of nature, who 
perished untimely whilst pursuing his researches in Surinam, whither he was sent by the 
illustrious Boerhaave. This event is feelingly lamented by Linnaeus in his “ Flora 
Suecica,” p. 211. 4< Juvene pulcherrimo, candidissimo et certe doctissimo ac nationis suae
