Firenze (Appresso Allegrini, Pisoni, e Compagni...) 1774, viii, 84 p. (n.v.) was a plagiarism. The pseudonymous author Strateano Gresalvi (anagram of Salvatore Ginestra) later stated that the book was written by Maratti; actually the text was taken from prelinnaean publications on Corsica by Paolo Boccone and Luigi Amando Jaussin. #### Eponymy *Marattia* O. Swartz (1788) and *Protomarattia* Hayata (1919) probably commemorate him. The following genera of fossil plants are related to *Marattia*: Maralliopsis W.P.Schimper (1870); *Marattiotheca* W.P.Schimper (1879); *Marattisporites* R. A. Couper (1958); *Marattites* Marion & Laurent (1898). ### Publications ##### n.5370.
