Abstract
A letter in latin fram Mariano La Gasca to A. P. De Candolle is presented in English and Spanish translations. La Gasea, whose bicentennial will be celebrated in 1976, was a patriot and one of the most important Spanish botanists of the early XIX Century. He played a significant role in the development of the classification of the Umbelliferae; the letter, dealing mainly with this subject, was written fram london during his years in exile, and came to light among specimens of Umbelliferae loaned to the senior author by the Conservatoire de Botanique, Geneve.References
