LINNÆUS’S SOURCES
[This section will be repeated in each installment of the text, with
additions and corrections as they become available.]
_All sources that could be identified are listed here in alphabetical
order. If you have additions or corrections to the list, please contact
Lucy2424 at sbcglobal dot net, or errata at pglaf dot org._
An increasing number of these sources are available online. To fill in
gaps in this segment, some citations from Reede (“Rheed. mal.”) were
individually checked.
Texts by Linnæus himself (“Propria”) are not listed. Four sources--
Hasselquist, Kalm, Loefling, Osbeck-- appear to have been students.
Most of their citations would today be called “personal communication”.
Note that the title pages of published books will often have different
inflectional endings than those shown: for example, a title given as
“Plantæ Rariores” might appear in print as “Libri Decem Plantarum
Rariorum”. The words “Listed as” refer to the “Auctores” pages at the
beginning of the volume.

Species Names
A few species names were later modified, sometimes by Linnaeus
himself. Most two-word names are now joined with a hyphen, as “Arbutus
uva-ursi” and similar; a few are written without the hyphen. Mid-word
capitals such as “ChamæCistus” have generally been eliminated.
Narcissus Pseudo Narcissus
N. pseudonarcissus [with or without hyphen]
Amaryllis Bella donna
A. belladonna [with or without hyphen]
Hemerocallis Lilio Asphodelus
H. lilioasphodelus
Æsculus Hippo Castanum
A. hippocastanum
Scilla Lilia Hyacinthus
S. lilio-hyacinthus
Alisma Plantago Δ [meaning of delta uncertain]
A. plantago
Cotyledon umbilicus ♀

Typographical Errors and Misspellings Noted by Transcriber
_Orthographic variation between u and v was left unchanged, as was
capitalization of species names, including mid-word capitals. Forms in
“ae” or “oe” where “æ” or “œ” was expected were silently changed. The
variation between “aloe” and “aloë” is unchanged. See below for errors
in punctuation and typography._
