Paper about the manuscript Plantae per Galleciam observatae of Lange

A paper was added where we announce the contents of the manuscript that J.M.C. Lange wrote after his visit to Galicia in 1852 and was offered as a present to V. López Seoane.

That manuscript is preserved at Instituto José Cornide (A Coruña). This manuscript refers to 871 taxa beloyed to 103 families in the territories of Galicia and León. We provide their current valid names, the places where they are mentioned and some other remarks. We performed a comparison between the manuscript and works, Pugillus plantarum and Prodromus Florae Hispanicae. We note specifically if a taxon appears in the review made by ORTIZ (1988) of the Galicians sheets of herbarium Willkomm, deposited in Coimbra. Finally, we reconstructed the physical and chronological itinerary of the trip.
