B. Balbis (1765-1831), then by M. Bonafous (1794-1852) and subsequently by the Turin Academy of Agriculture. This Academy presented the herbarium to [[Collection TO|TO]] in 1891. Allioni had a rich natural history cabinet of which the botanical part (excluding the herbarium) is at the Seminario di Chieri. – Allioni's correspondence (20 vol. in Qu.) is at the Turin Academy of Sciences. *Ref*.: IH 1(ed. 6): 355, 2: 32; Saccardo 1: 13, 2: 9. - Gras, Bull.

This collection is often cited by Allioni and Colla and contains many of the originals of the illustrations of the works by these authors, in particular of Allioni's *Flora pedemontana*. The main artists are: 1741-1766 Francesco Peyrolery, from Viù (Piemont) – Pietro Peyrolery's drawings for the *Flora Pedemontana* are probably also incorporated. 1767-1802 Giovanni-Antonio Bottione, also from Viù. 1802-1837 Angela Maria Bottione, from Torino. 1838-1868 Maddalena Lisa Mussino, from Torino. Volumes 1-8 carry the title: *Stirpium quae in horto regio botanico Taurin. inveniuntur index et icones ad vivum delineatae.* From volume 9 onward: *Herbae ac stirpes indigenae et exoticae nativis coloribus ad vivum expressae*. *Ref*.: Allioni, Fl. pedem. 1: iv. 1785. - Burnat, Bull.

Allioni uses Linnaean binary names only for the species described in the *Species plantarum*; new and doubtful species are provided only with a diagnostic phrase. *Ref*.: PR 107; IDC 5826. ##### n.99. Mélanges philos.-mat. Soc. roy. Turin **Title** Auctuarium ad synopsim methodicam stirpium horti regii taurinensis, *Mélanges philos.-mat. Soc. roy. Turin* 5 (1770-1773): \[53\]-96. 1774. **Notes** *Publ*.: 1774 (or perhaps even 1776) in journal, but preprinted 1773 (rev. GGA 30-9-1773; Linnaeus received a copy of this preprint early November 1774). This preprint has its own pagination; Allioni, in his *Flora pedemontana* always refers to the pagination of the periodical. The *Auctuarium* preprint must be assumed to have come out later than Gouan's *Illustrationes* (Jan-Mai 1773). – Allioni adopts here for the first time consistently the Linnaean binary system. Many names used in the *Flora pedemontana* actually date from this publication. For a full analysis see Tjaden (1970) and Dandy (1970). *Ref*.: Kew 1: 42; PR 108; IDC 5533. - Chiovenda, Ann. di Bot. 10(1): 15-23. 1912. - Fuchs, Phyton 9 (1, 2): 42. 1960; Ber. Schweiz. bot.

The plates (copper engravings) are by Francisco Peyrolery (engraved by Pietro Peyrolery), mostly uncoloured; coloured copies are rare. Extensive review: GGA 31 Dec 1785. Becherer (1953) has shown that the 23 specific names marked with a dagger (†) are to be attributed to Allioni and not to Bellardi who had provided information on the relevant species to Allioni but who had not named them. – The pages with roman numerals are bound in various places. *Ref*.: BL 2: 372; BM 1: 32; DU 6; GF p. 47; IF p. 675; Jackson p. 320; Kew 1: 42; LS 842; NI 18; Plesch p. 125; PR 108; RS p. 72; IDC 1128. - Mattirolo, Malpighia 18: 211. 1904. - Mattirolo, Scritti bot.
