**Notes**
*Publ*.: 1827, p. \[i-iii\], \[1\]-172, *Copies*: B, L. – There seems to be uncertainty about the year of publication. From Dumortier's citation of Kickx, *Accurata descriptio* (1827), it would seem as if the Dumortier work is later. Unconfirmed notes refer to a delay in the publication of the *Florula* up to three years; however, we have not been able to find any direct proof that this was the case except that the first review, by Guillemin appeared only in Oct 1830 (Bull. Sci. nat. 23: 75-77) and that Linnaea mentioned it only in 1831 (Lit. Ber. 1831: 116). – Dumortier's infrageneric categories designated with the mark § are sections (see Brizicky 1969).
