P. de Candolle. **Abbreviated name**: *Moric.* \[standard form in IPNI: *Moric.*\] #### Herbarium and types Moricand's herbarium, particularly rich in early 19th century collections and consisting of about 50.000 specimens, is now part of the general herbarium of Genève ([[Collection G|G]]). The *Plantes nouvelles d'Amérique* are mainly based on collections by Pavón, Berlandier and Blanchet. – Duplicates at [[Collection CN|CN]], [[Collection FI|FI]], [[Collection G|G]]-DC, [[Collection H|H]], [[Collection OXF|OXF]], [[Collection P|P]], [[Collection US|US]], [[Collection W|W]]. #### Bibliography and biography AG 5(4): 68, 173; Barnhart 2: 514; BL 2: 415, 693; BM 3: 1350; Bossert p. 273; Clokie p. 214; CSP 4: 467-468; Hortus 3: 1200 ("Moric."); IH 2: 558; Jackson p. 323, 355; Herder p. 179, 225; Kew 4: 55; Langman p. 525; ME 3: 412; NI 1408-1409; PH 98, 567; PR 6450-6452 (ed. 1: 7180-7182); Rehder 5: 589; RS p. 120; Saccardo 1: 113-114, 2: 75, cron. xxvii; TL-1/889-890; TL-2/1: 1004, see Berlandier, J.

Flora veneta **Title** *Flora veneta*, seu enumeratio plantarum circa Venetiam nascentium, secundum methodum Linnaeanam disposita,... Vol. i. Genevae (ex Typ. J. J. Paschoud,...) Parisiis (apud eumdem,...) 1820. Oct. †. **Abbreviated title**: *Fl. venet.* **Notes** *Publ*.: Jul 1820 (BF: 22 Jul 1820), p. \[i\]-x, \[1\]-439. *Copies*: FI, G, MO, NY, USDA. – Vol. 2, Cryptogams, remained unpublished. See Moretti (1822) for a critical evaluation. ##### n.6318. Plantes nouvelles d'Amérique **Title** *Plantes nouvelles d'Amérique*... Genève (Imprimerie de Jules-Gme Fick...) 1833-1846\[-1847\]. Qu. **Abbreviated title**: *Pl. nouv. Amér.* **Notes** *Publ*.: 1834-1847 (see below), p. \[i\]-iv, \[1\]-176, *pl. 1-100.* Copies: FI, H, US, USDA; IDC 6082. – The text of livr. 1 was also published in Mém. Soc. Genève 6(2): 529-536 (1834); livr. 2 in 7(1): 249-264 (1836). The remaining parts were issued independently. Livr. 1 was dated 1833 \[erreoneously, because the Mémoires 6(2) were published in 1834, see e.g. p. 545\] and livr. 2, 1836 (possibly publ. 1835), but they were set up from fresh type and probably appeared together (in this form) in 1836. The first part was originally due for publication in 1830 by Barbezat at Genève under the title *Plantae americanae rariores descriptae et iconibus illustratae* (NI 1408). Publication did not take place due to bankruptcy of the publisher. However, this first unpublished part (which was to contain plates 1-10) is reviewed in the Bulletin Botanique (Genève) 6: 171-175. Jun 1830, and in the Bulletin des Sciences naturelles et de géologie of Férussac (23: 77-79. Sep 1830). The reviews contain the Latin description of the species, which establishes valid publication! Pritzel cites this unpublished part under number 6451 and adds "Fasciculus casu infelici ineditus". For a more detailed account see Schlechtendal (1847) and Briquet (1940). All parts are enumerated, with the plates and dates of each, in the preface to the completed work. |livr. |pages |*plates* |dates| |--- |--- |--- |--- | |1 |\[1\]-8 |1-6 |1834 (,,1833")| |2 |9-24 |7-16 |1836| |3 |25-40 |17-26 |1837| |4 |41-56 |27-38 |1837| |5 |57-76 |39-50 |1839| |6 |77-96 |51-60 |1840| |7 |97-116 |61-70 |1841| |8 |117-140 |71-84 |Jan-Aug 1844| |9 |141-176, i-iv |85-100 |Jan-Jun 1847| *Copies*: G, MO, NY (orig. covers), US, USDA; IDC 6082. – The original paper cover of each livraison bears the title: "Plantes nouvelles ou rares de l'Amérique." The number of the livraisons, the numbers of the plates contained in it, and the year, were filled in by hand. Livr. 1 & 2 were reviewed as the *first* part in Linnaea 11(Lit.-Ber.): 186 (1837). Livr. 4 was reviewed in Linnaea 12(Lit.-Ber.): 186 (1838) as of "1837". Livr. 8 was reviewed in Bot. Zeit. 2: 615. (30 Aug 1844), Livr. 9 ibid. 5: 475. (2 Jul 1847). The preface (p. iv) is dated 30 Dec 1846. If the ninth part was published at the same time, as suggested by Barnhart, its date is 1847. The plates are copper engravings (79) or lithographs (21) of drawings by Moricand. The engravings were made by Heyland. *Ref*.: Schlechtendal, D. F. L. von, Bot.
