Montin's herbarium annotations are exceptionally complete. Given, as usual in the eighteenth century, on the back of each herbarium sheet are: name, diagnosis from species plantarum or systema naturae, area, notes on the nature of the locality, name of the collector, country and date of collecting. Montin had an extensive correspondence with many collectors and botanists: his herbarium was probably the most complete Swedish herbarium of his time. The herbarium was left to his nephew Jonas Dryander who presented it to the Swedish Academy of Sciences. Together with the herbarium of Alströmer it thus became the foundation of the Stockholm herbarium ([[Collection S|S]]). Several hundred plants from the Montin herbarium were acquired from Linnaeus's hortulanus Nietzel (Curator at Uppsala from 1739-1756) and are now incorporated in the Linnaean herbarium at Stockholm. For a list of the contributors to the Montin herbarium see Lindman (1907). #### Bibliography and biography Barnhart 2: 507; BM 3: 1341-1342, 7: 860-861; Dawson p. 735; Dryander 2: 144, 197, 3: 170, 248, 252, 272, 273, 297, 306, 341, 643; Hortus 3: 1200 ("Montin"); IH 2: 553; Kew 4: 40; KR p. 504-505; Lasègue p. 359, 392, 502; PR (alph.); Rehder 5: 585; SO 217, 1290, 1589, 3538-3542; TL-2/1: see index. - Blunt, W., The compleat naturalist 183. 1971. - Bullock, A.
