[36] Since Dr. Cleghorn’s time, several natives of the island have studied its botany. Juan Cursach, a native of Ciudadela, who was educated at Montpelier (1759-1837), published at Mahon his _Botanicus medicus ad medicinæ alumnorum usum_. He enumerated 270 plants, of which 160 were said to be natives. Juan Ramis y Ramis, of Mahon (1746-1819), published at Mahon _Specimen animalium vegetabilium et mineralium in insula Minoricæ frequentiorum, ad normam Linneani sistematis._ He enumerates 140 plants. Rafael Hernandez y Mercadal (1779-1857), a doctor of Mahon, formed a Minorca herbarium of 500 species. It is now lost. Rafael Oles y Cuadredo, of Ciudadela (1806-1879), in 1859 called the _Droguero farmaceutico_. It includes an interesting account of the topography of the island. Don Juan Joaquin Rodriquez y Femanias studied the vegetation of Minorca for many years, and published in 1865-68 a _Catalogo razonado de las plantas vasculares de Minorca_. See also the _Flores de las islas Baleares_, 1870-81, of Francisco Barcelo y Combis. [37] Bidwell, p. 308.
