Adolphe BRONGNIART (1801-1876) paleobotanist. L.A.S. co-signed by Adrien de Jussieu, Paris July 13, 1848, to Mme Ed. Quesnel in Le Havre; 1 page in-4 on the letterhead of the Museum of Natural History. It is with gratitude and eagerness that the Museum accepts the gift "of some beautiful plants contained in your greenhouses and particularly of a pandanus odoratissimus and a strelitzia Augusta, both of great size and which will be a precious acquisition for our greenhouses". Mr. Houllet the gardener of the hot greenhouses will be sent to supervise the packing and the transport of the plants... We join a L.A.S. from Marcelin Berthelot (1898), 2 L.A.S. from Victor Raulin, and a bill a.s. from Chevreul.
