Hortus Uptonensis, or A catalogue of stove and green¬ 
house plants in Dr. Fothergill’s garden at Upton at the 
time of his decease. [London, I 78 I] 44 P» (Brit. 
Mus.} Kew; Bib. Nat. Paris) 
Brit. Mus. cat. has queried date I 783 ; but 
I 78 I, given by Pritzel, 2d ed., Cat. Bib. Nat. 
Paris, and Kew Cat., is probably correct. This 
is presumably identical with the "Hortus Upto¬ 
nensis" in Pothergill's works (3:81-100), ed. 
by Lettsom, which according to the table of 
contents was published in I 78 I. (MPW)

tion to the knowledge of the plants grown in Ger¬ 
many in the middle of the l6th century. See
