However it would appear that up to the publication of the "Genera... in 1818 he kept few or no specimens for himself, presenting a complete series of his plants to the Academy of Natural Sciences ([[Collection PH|PH]]) so that there repose his early types" (Pennell 1936). Further Nuttall specimens are found in [[Collection CGE|CGE]], [[Collection DUKE|DUKE]], [[Collection DWC|DWC]], [[Collection E|E]], [[Collection F|F]], [[Collection FI|FI]], [[Collection G|G]], [[Collection GH|GH]], [[Collection K|K]], [[Collection LIV|LIV]], [[Collection MANCH|MANCH]], [[Collection MO|MO]], [[Collection NY|NY]], [[Collection OXF|OXF]]. #### Bibliography and biography AG 1: 403, 3: 219, 6(2): 117; Backer p. 400; Barnhart 3: 17; BB p. 231-232; BM 3: 1456, 7: 944; Bossert p. 290; CSP 4: 650-651, 8: 521, 12: 543, 17: 576; DAB 13: 596-597; Desmond p. 469; DNB 41: 276-277; DSB 10: 163-165. 1974 (bibl.); Frank 3(Anh.): 72; GR p. 278, cat. p. 69; Herder p. 117, 141, 225; Hortus 3: 1200 ("Nutt."); IH 1(ed. 6): 362, 2: (in press); Jackson p. 68, 354, 360; Kew 4: 169; Krempelh. 3: 82, 211; Langman p. 545; Lasègue p. 331, 346, 349, 464, 505; Lenley p. 465; LS 19154-19155; ME 1: 215-216, 3: 632 \[index\], 737; MW p. 359; NAF 28B(2): 348-349, ser. 2. 2: 167, 5: 250; NI 1458; Pennell p. 615; PH p. 507 \[index\]; PR 6772-6774 (ed.1: 7580-7584); RS p. 121; SK 1: ccv; Stevenson p. 1253; TL-1/377, 842, 925-931; TL-2/325, 910, 3560, see E.
