Rostrips studiesin Schumachers herbarium is of particularly great value (R 85 g, seealso R93b, 98q). It was a matter of course that he interested him*self in the history of that branch of science in which he was so totallyabsorbed. He has also collected all the legends and noted down allthe superstition referring to cryptogames (R 1875). Lp to the verylast days of his life he continued to collect curious notices from news*papers on the fungi which he kept in his scrapbook. The fungi which have been hving in Denmark in earher geologicalperiods and which are now found in fragments of plants in moors. E. ROSTRUP C. 1885. etc. were always brought to Rostrup for determination (see f. 09, R 98 q). It was a great help to Rostrup in his study of the fungi that hehad such a thorough knowledge of all the phanerogames in this coun*try; he knew the normal exterior of all the plants and was at onceable to see if they were ill or ailing in any way he was even able todetermine tiny fragments of living or dead plants, and only very sel:sdom was he caught in the trap in which phytopathologists are oftencaught: to be mistaken in a parasitic fungus because of being mistakenin the substratum. He know every single species of the wild plantsof Denmark, of which the ten editions of his Vejledning i den dan^^ 6 ske Flora (Guide of the Danish Flora) bears witness.
