The remaining specimens are lost. Mainly plants collected by de Gorter in gardens in the Netherlands, some in the wild, some in Russia, furthermore plants collected by Linnaeus (Harderwijk), Lerche (Russia), Meerburgh (Netherlands), Gerber (Russia), Demidoff (Russia), Pallas (Russia) and anonymous collections from the Cape and Ceylon.
