Transcription

Kiggelaer sends a copy of his book ‘Horti Beaumontiani: Exoticarum Plantarum Catalogus’. He asks Sloane to send specimens to him. Kiggelaer was a dutch botanist who published the Horti Beaumontiani in 1690, collaborated with Frederik Ruysch, and had the genus Kiggeleria named in his honor by Linnaeus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Kiggelaer).
