Friends:

    Am hoping that one (more?) of you scholars of C. Linnaeus can let
me know where a certain quote of his comes from. I scribbled it down
during graduate school, years ago, and now can't figure out where I
got it. The quote, which I may proudly set above the door at our
herbarium, is:

    "Herbarium praestat omni icone, necessarium omni botanico."


    Thanks,
