Glbault, Jour# Soc. Nat# Hort# France (1905)t 
p#740, refers to this as the first list of the 
plants of the Paris garden# and the •Catalogue" 
of 1641 &s being a little more complete# Kraus# 
"Der botanische garten der Universitat Halle" 
(pt#2# 1894)* cites the catalogue of I636 among 
the earliest records of American plants in Eu» 
rope# Besides many names of obviously American 
species# it contains many names of bulbs# over 
2 p« devoted to hyacinths# 6 p# to narcissus# 
more than a page to iris# and a half page to 
tulips# (MFW)

Entry indicates that the two plans of the garden 
are wanting in this copy# but they evidently are 
in the one recorded by Bib# Banks# "Tabu** 
lae aeneae 50* continons Icnographiam horti ro- 
gii parisini# et icones# bonas plantarum in eo 
rariorum# nunquam editae" &c# This copy is not 
given in the Brit# Hus# (Nat# Hist#) Cat## and 
so is probably in the Brit# Mus# proper. (MF^T) 
Apparently the work referred to in Schrader# 
Jour# f# d# Bot# 1800 (l):25o (I80I)# with note 
quoted from copy in Sir Joseph Banks’ library 
(see above)# which says that according to Aubin 
d’Isnard# Catalogue des livres# only 24 copies 
were printed# altho Haller# 2:68o# says there 
were 60 copies of the work. Haller# 1:441* 
scribes it as 50 plates^^^thout text# comprising 
many Canadian j^plants^i^^'scwifc&uropeani; but later 
(2:680) says there were only 45 plates. Evident¬ 
ly copies vary# but the statement of Schrader's 
Jour.# l.c## that there were 146 plates# cannot 
possibly be correct unless it refers to original 
unpublished drawings# (MFW)
