The following List is compiled from a large album
containing a significant selection of pressed flowers and plants. From
the evidence to hand, the collection would appear to have been put
together sometime during the first half of the 19th century, more likely
around the period 1830-1850. It would appear that at least some of the
samples may have had a medicinal or homeopathic connection. S.F.H. gratefully acknowledges the assistance given by Dr Jeff Russel of Switzerland for his help with identification. |
