      JACOBO EDVARDO SMITH

      Genera Filicum, ab antiquioribus plane neglecta, a systematicis praeteriti aevi inconsiderate, negligenterque tractata, ad principia certa reducere primus conatus est Linnaeus. Raius ut videtur nomina, ne dicam consulta patrum (non omnia possumus omnes) incogitans servavit. Tournefortius, magis aliquantulum huic rei deditus, quo scopum suum egregium rite absolvat, filices, sicut alia sibi nota vegetabilia omnia, ad genera propria methodice referre voluit; sed characteres suos, vagos plerumque & lubricos, e figura frondis sumptos, minus feliciter scripsit. Vestigiis ejus omnino institit Plumierius, qui filices transatlanticas numerosissimas cum Botanicis Europaeis communicavit, denominationibusque Tournefortianis accomodavit. Alios recensere praetermitto.

      Linnaeus, de characteribus vegetabilium genericis e fructificatione solummodo desumendis semper solicitus, consilium hoc, viro tam sapienti vere dignissimum, in editione prima Generum Plantarum anno 1737
