Lambioi in Belluni. It was entitled: "Exercitiones botanicae per agrum bellunensem seu plantarum in agro Bellunensi sponte nascentium," in 2 volumes. The herbarium Agosti changed hands several times after Lambioi's death and came to [[Collection PAD|PAD]] in 1903. *Ref*.: Saccardo, Atti Accad. ven.-trent.-ist.

De re botanica tractatus **Title** *De re botanica tractatus* in quo praeter generalem methodum, et historiam plantarum, eae stirpes peculiater recensentur, quae in agro Bellunensi et Fidentino vel sponte crescunt, vel arte excoluntur. Additis adnotationibus quibus plurimarum plantarum vires indicantur. Belluni (Typis Simonis Tissi) 1770. Oct. **Abbreviated title**: *Re bot. tract.* **Notes** *Publ*.: 1770, p. \[i-iv\], 1-400. *Copy*: HU. – Agosti adopts an unorthodox order of taxonomic categories: genus, division, \[genus inferior\], species. His generic names could therefore be considered as not validly published. (Agosti has no binary specific names). This interpretation, however, is open to question, since Agosti clearly states on p. 4 and 22 that he has in fact two kinds of genera, "higher" and "lower." The latter correspond exactly with the generally admitted genera of the period (information R. Ross). Dandy proposes to consider the names of the "lower" genera published in this work as inadmissible. *Ref*.: DA 1967; LS 763; PR 70; IDC 5825. - Schwarz, Mitt. thür. bot.
