The herbarium was evidently disposed of in parts by Oldenland's widow. The most important part came ultimately in the hands of the Burman family and was given on loan to Linnaeus by Nicolaus Laurens Burman. Linnaeus based many of his *Plantae rariores africanae*(1760) on these plants. This part of the Oldenland collections is now at [[Collection G|G]]. Another part was acquired by Sir Hans Sloane and is now at [[Collection BM|BM]]. Linnaeus received duplicates from Burman, hence the presence of some Oldenland specimens in [[Collection LINN|LINN]]. The Thunberg herbarium (at [[Collection UPS|UPS]]) also contains Oldenland specimens from the Cape. It is probable that Thunberg received these from the Burmans. Some Oldenland material is also at [[Collection B|B]]-WIL and [[Collection OXF|OXF]]. #### Bibliography and biography Backer p. 405; Barnhart 3: 26; Clokie p. 219; Frank 3 (Anh.): 73; Laségue p. 66; TL-2/931, see J. and N.
