Two of these herbaria are at [[Collection BM|BM]], (Britten 1904, Ardagh 1942), six others in the Bibliotheca Casanatense et Alessandrina in Roma of which one is in 19 volumes, compiled between 1756 and 1776, called *Theatrum botanicum romanum*. Two other herbaria (*Hortulus practico-botanicus* and *Theatrum botanicum*) are in. the Corsiniana library in Rome (Pirotta & Chiovenda 1902, Pirotta 1903, Béguinot 1899, 1900, and Saccardo 2: 94-95. #### Biofile - Barnhart 3: 197; BM 4: 1777; Dryander 3: 112, 149; Frank 3 (Anh.): 87; - Herder p. 179; Kew 4: 558; Plesch p. 393; PR 7939, ed. 1: 8902; Rehder 1: 424; Saccardo 1: 143, 2: 94-95, cron. p. xxxi; TL-1/122; TL-2/634; see G.

Bonelli, *Hort. rom.* 1772-1793, TL-2/634. L. Sabbati probably supplied most of the data for this book: "... adumbrationem dirigente Liberato Sabbati ..." The species descriptions in volumes 6-8 are attributed to Constantino Sabbati, see e.g. Dryander 3: 113. We have no further information on C. Sabbati except that he too was a gardener in Roma, somewhat later than Liberato Sabbati (Saccardo 1: 143.). #### Eponymy *Sabbata* Vellozo (1825); *Sabbatia* Moench (1794). *Note*: *Sabatia* Adanson (1763) is very likely also named for Sabbati but no etymology is given (see Adanson, Fam. Pl. 1: 27. 1763). ### Publications ##### n.9877.
