DIAZ PIEDRAHITA, Santiago. THE "TABLE OF GENERA", AN INTERESTING BOTANICAL MANUSCRIPT. Rev. acad. colomb. cienc. exact. fis. nat. [online]. 2013, vol.37, n.144, pp.411-427. ISSN 0370-3908.

The botanical manuscript entitled Table of Genera is transcribed and commented. The document contains data about the classification of 97 plant genera and the therapeutic properties given for some species, including information about their names, synonyms and etymologies. Due to its characteristics, contents and authorities that are quoted, the anonymous text was probably written on the last third of the XVIII century or at the beginning of the XIX century.

Keywords : Botany; classification; History of botany; therapeutics.
