Linnaean CollectionsLinnaeus's own herbarium, housed at the Linnean Society of London, is the single largest collection of the specimens seen and used by Linnaeus. There are a number of other collections which contain original material for the names he described. These include collections of specimens (e.g. those at H, MW, S, SBT, UPS) given away by Linnaeus to students and colleagues, but also other collections that he studied at some point but which never formed part of his own herbarium. The latter include the George Clifford, John Clayton and Paul Hermann herbaria (all at BM and all digitised and searchable on-line), as well as those of Joachim Burser (UPS) and Adriaan van Royen (L). Some species were known to Linnaeus only through the publications of other authors such as Hans Sloane, Charles Plumier, Johannes Burmann and many others.
