Florentine Garden

instructor of Plants in our Major Hospital, kindly collected for me for the sake of gathering Alpine plants first, and then Maritime plants, while I was absent from the City, and likewise with some others collected by me on a journey, namely of those species which I brought into the Garden on this same occasion, and which I did not hesitate to add here for the sake of Friends.
