(1707-1778) 
Apart from the purely botanical significance 
of the works of Linne, and the value of such as 
the "Species plantarum" (1753) in tracing data 
concerning earlier plant culture and introduction, 
there are several books that have special impor¬ 
tance for the history of cultivated plants, nota¬ 
bly his "Hortus Cliffortianus" (1736) and "Hortus 
Upsaliensis" (1748). There are, moreover, a few 
Linnaean dissertations that relate particularly 
to food plants or gardening. Inasmuch as the bib¬ 
liography of Linne has been worked out in great 
detail in the Brit. Mus. Nat. Hist. Catalogue of 
the works of Linnaeus (1933); Hulth, J.M., Bibli- 
ographia Linnaeana (1907); and Krok, T.O.B.N., 
Bibliotheca botanica suecana (1925); we give here 
a bare list of these theses with their respond¬ 
ents and original dates, but v^ithout information 
on other editions or libraries in which they may 
be found. All these dissertations in the form 
in which they were originally published are lo¬ 
cated in the Library of Congress, and many of them 
are also in the U. S, Department of Agriculture 
and various other libraries. All of them, more¬ 
over, are reprinted in Linne, "Amoenitates acade- 
micae," of which there are many editions, some 
of which are available in practically every bo¬ 
tanical library, (MFVV—Nov. 1938)
