Abstract: A pharmaceutical essay for Swedish apothecaries, forming the first enumeration of medicinal plants to be equated with Linnaean Latin binomials. It provides three catalogues: (1) Plants of the Materia medica (ca. 580 spp.), with binomials, identifying the parts used medicinally, with directions for preparation and use of selected parts; (2) Native plants of Sweden, which should be used for medicinal needs rather than any imported material of the same species; (3) Plants that should be cultivated in Sweden to preclude any excuse for their importation.
