Abstract
ALL working systematic botanists use Steudel's “Nomenclator botanicus seu Synonymia plantarum universalis”as an indispensable book of reference. It is an alphabetical list arranged under genera of published names of plants, giving their native countries and the authors who published their descriptions. Synonyms are as far as possible given under the species to which they belong. The second volume of Steudel's work was published in 1841, and it is probably not far wrong to assume that the existing mass of described plants has since doubled.
