Later it came to the Université libre de Lyon ([[Collection LY|LY]]). Kew ([[Collection K|K]]) received a European herbarium made by A. Jordan in 1911 (1225 specimens). Other important sets of Jordan plants are at [[Collection BM|BM]] (1800) and [[Collection P|P]] (1000). The manuscripts and original drawings of the *Icones* are the property of the Société botanique de France. #### Bibliography and biography AG 5(2): 259,6(1): 109, 12(3): 32; BM 2: 942; CSP 3: 577-578, 8: 37, 16: 140; DSB 7: 165-167; Hortus 3: 1197 ("Jord."); IH 2: 331; Jackson p. 97, 117, 226, 274, 285, 429; Kew 3: 192-193; Moebius p. 56; NI 1008; PFC 1: xliv-xlv; Plesch p. 285; PR 4476-4482 (ed. 1: 4945); Render 5: 437; SO 906a; TL-2/see Fourreau, J.
