Oct. **Abbreviated title**: *Syst. alg.* **Notes** *Publ*.: Mai-Sep 1824 (prob. Sep; fide letter Agardh to de Candolle 24 Sep 1824), p. \[i\]– xxxviii, \[1\]–312. *Copies*: BR, HU. — Bruzelius, Observationes in genus Charae, 1824, has priority (28 Feb 1824). The letters written by C. A. Agardh to A. P. de Candolle, preserved at the Conservatoire botanique de Genève, shed some light on the history of the publication of the *Species algarum* and the *Systema algarum*. The publication of Agardh's *Species algarum* (1820-1828) was interrupted in 1823 because of difficulties between the publisher and the printers. In a letter dated December 1822 Agardh informed A. P. de Candolle that the *Species* (1, 2. 2) was "au point d'être publié à Leipzic." It is difficult to tell, however, when \[in 1823\] this part was actually published. In his letter of 1 June 1823 Agardh does not mention the fascicle, but on 15 April 1824 he takes it for granted that his correspondent had duly received it. In this letter, however, he states the reason why publication came to a temporary standstill (the next part came out late 1828) and why he planned to publish his, much shorter, *Systema algarum*. The letter runs as follows (translation, relatively free): "Thanks to a quarrel between the publisher and the printer the continuation is impossible for some time. However, systems of algae are published left and right; new genera are made without examination of the species and hence increase the confusion. I am therefore forced to publish a small Synopsis of 10-15 sheets, which will contain my genera and all species with their diagnoses, their complete synonymy and their habitat...." The rest of the letter repeats more or less what is said in the preface of the Systema algarum. Agardh promises to send the book as soon as it is out. On 24 September of the same year he sends a copy. Actual publication therefore took place between 15 April and 24 September, most probably nearer to the end than to the beginning of that period. *Facsimile ed*.: Amsterdam (Asher) 1965. *Copy*: FAS. *Ref*.: BM 1: 15; Kew 1: 17; KR p. 11; MW p. 2; PR 42; IDC 5272. - Oken, Isis 16(3): 340-352. 1825. - Koster, Preface \[to fascimile edition\], Amsterdam 1965. - Stafleu, Taxon 15: 276-277. 1966. ##### n.44.
