The *Description des plantes rares cultivées à Malmaison et à Navarre* was based on living plants. Some herbarium specimens of plants grown at Malmaison have been traced by Jovet in the Paris herbarium ([[Collection P|P]]); but so far none of the types of Bonpland's book. *Ref*.: IH 2: 85; Plesch 151-152. - Anon., Flora 52: 415. 1869 (disappearance of his herbarium). - McVaugh, Taxon 4: 78-86. 1955. - Wurdack, Taxon 20: 591-593. 1971. - Sayre, Mem.
