The Herbarium of Ferrante Imperato at Naples

Abstract

IN a recent issue of NATURE (vol. lxvii. p. 181), there is an account of a paper by Prof. B. Schorler on a history of systematic botany prior to Linnaeus. In the list given of the most ancient existing herbaria, no mention is made of that of Ferrante Imperato, which is among the oldest extant. This ancient herbarium, the remains of which are preserved in the National Library of Naples, is also overlooked in the interesting paper, now in course of publication, in the Magyar Botanikai Lapok (Budapest, 1902), by Alföldi Flatt Käroly, “Zur Geschichte der Herbare.”
