The Story of Majorca and Minorca

by Sir Clements R. Markham

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.
