One copy was given to F. Boudon de Saint-Amans. This set was used in 1873 as the basis for a re-issue by C. Roumeguère and the publisher Calmet for a facsimile edition of the drawings, a letter by Schwägrichen to Saint-Amans, completed with 321 exsiccatae with updated nomenclature after Schimper's Synopsis. The sets at BR and G consist of Calmet's introduction on p. \[i\], a copy of Schwägrichen's letter of 2 Feb 1813 and 26 plates with illustrations and moss fragments.

Reichenbach (1828) probably was also named for this author, but no etymology was given. ### Publications ##### n.11.426.
