VAN ROYEN SPECIMENS IN OTHER HERBARIA

By donation and exchange, specimens from Adriaan and David van Royen found their way into other herbaria. When Linnaeus was in Leiden to assist Adriaan with the rearrangement of the Leiden botanical garden, he not only obtained many living specimens, but also received many herbarium specimens from him ( Pulteney 1805: 574, Fée 1831: 323, Lasègue 1845: 556). These are still in Linnaeus’s own herbarium in London (LINN) and in Stockholm (S-LINN). Van Royen specimens are also in the herbarium of Clifford (BM), that of Sherard (OXF), the herbarium of J. Burman, and his son N.L. Burman (G) and De Candolle’s herbarium at G. The Van Royen specimens in Munich (M) are found among the herbarium specimens of Casimir Christoph Schmi(e)del (1718–1792) (information received from Hans-Joachim Esser, curator at M, in 2014). Schmidel was professor of medicine in Bayreuth and later professor of anatomy and botany in Erlangen (Stafleu & Cowan 1985, Vol. 5: 237).
