The two were reissued in 1767 with the above title. – Thellung states that 336 species are provided with binary names, but that 282 specific names are uninomial whereas 71 are polynominal. This means that Art. 23(3) of the Interational Code of Botanical Nomenclature applies: the Linnaean system of binary nomenclature for species is not consistently employed. Thellung, however, makes a plea to accept the binary names. The plates of the 1764 book contain analyses. – Thellung's proposal to accept Garsault's binary specific names has not been followed (cf. Britten and Rendle 1909). There is no distinction between specific names of one or more words and generic names and the latter can also not be admitted either. *Copy*: G.
