General
A Deschizeaux-type manuscript, probably by Deschizeaux, in connection with his voyages to St. Petersburg. Consists of a list of plant names with a Latin title. Preserved in a board cover, in which Adanson originally filed a number of manuscripts of the Deschizeaux type. The date of death of Deschizeaux, often cited as 1730, is incorrect, being shortened from circa 1730. The date of 1735 needs confirmation.
