General
Collationé Adanson No. 83. Annotated: “Catalogue du Jardin royal de Paris rangés suivant mes familles des plantes copiées de dessus mon petit cahier aves mes notes spécifiques par M. Bombarde en 1755. Ce cahier étoit le cahier sur lequel M. de Bombarde fit ranger son jardin botanique situé sur le terrain des Chartreux près la Barrière de N[otre] D[ame] des petits champs à Paris, par M. Gérard, Medecin de Provence qui publia en 1762 d’après quelques unes de mes idées et mes familles son flora gallo-provincialis.” The copy is carefully written in a handwriting unlike Adanson’s. The date, 1755, given above shows evidence of alteration. Adanson’s original mss. is not in this collection.
