Linné, Carl von

Plantae rariores Camschatcenses (Diss., resp. Jonas P. Halenius.)

Upsaliae 1750. 4to. iv + 30 pp. + 1 folding plate, engraved by Carl Erik Bergqvist after J. Gane. Wrappers. First edition. “A description at large of 26 new Siberian plants, sent to Linnaeus by Gmelin … It is a curious remark made by our author, that if journeying eastward in Kamtschatka, the botanist sees his nearer approach to North America, by the habit of many of the plants; and hence arose a presumptive proof of the vicinity of the two continents, before real discoveries had confirmed the truth of it. The author has given a list of several plants, which are actually of the same species as are found in North America” (Pulteney 1805, p. 376). Hulth, p. 78. Soulsby 1612. Stafleu & Cowan 4759.
