However, it is doubtful whether these collections are still extant. The collections made on J. E. Hebenstreit and Ludwig's expedition to North Africa (1731-1733, Algeria, Tunisia, Tripolitania) were all destroyed during the great fire of the Dresden Zwinger on 6 May 1849. The other collections of Rivinus, Hebenstreit and Ludwig were probably also destroyed on that occasion. Some material is at [[Collection LINN|LINN]]. #### Bibliography and biography ADB 19: 600; Backer p. 340; Barnhart 2: 409; BM 3: 1189; Bossert p. 245; DA 1967; Dryander 5: 339; Hortus 3: 1198 ("Ludw."); HU 2(1): clxxvi, clxxviii, no. 569; IF p. 715; IH 2: 467; Kew 3: 516; Lasègue p. 335; Moebius p. 162, 164; NI 1252; Plesch p. 319-320; PR 5660-5676, 10727 (ed. 1: 6327-6345); Quenstedt p. 271; Rehder 5: 526; RS p. 116; SBC p. 513; SO add. 621a, 627, add. 2560a; TL-1: 96, 787-787a, 1089; TL-2/1: 546, 583, 1966, 3763; Tucker 1: 445; Zander ed. 10, p. 687, ed. 11, p. 783. - Anon., Comm. reb. sci. nat. mat. 20(1): 153-188; Nat.
