[[Collection LINN|LINN]], [[Collection S|S]]\[?\], [[Collection SBT|SBT]]. – Hasselquist's collections were confiscated at his death by his creditors but bought by Queen Louisa Ulrika, who kept them at Drottningholm, but put deplicates at the disposal of Linnaeus. These duplicates (often Linnaean types) are in the Linnaean herbarium ([[Collection LINN|LINN]]), and the main collection is now at [[Collection UPS|UPS]], given to the University in 1803. They form the basis of Thunberg's *Museum naturalium Academiae Upsaliensis* part 25, Uppsala 1804. Thunberg supplied the annotations on the herbarium sheets: originally there were none. Juel gives a summary of Linnaean species based on Hasselquist specimens. A few Hasselquist specimens are also in Bergius herbarium ([[Collection SBT|SBT]]) but certainly not the original collection as erroneously stated in IH. *Ref*.: Juel, H. O., Sv. Linné-Sällsk.
