Sigsmund ELSHOLTZ, qui & alium librum de Horticultura in vernacula lingua scripsit, cui liber non editus in Bibliotheca Berolinensi asservatus adnumerandus est. Celeber ille Vir suo tempore plantas tam hortenses, quam spontaneas magna cum diligentia collegit, & ad genium temporis descripsit; cui hanc plantam nominavi.
