Adrian von Mynsicht [1] (1603–1638) was a German alchemist. He is best known for the allegorical work Aureum Saeculum Redivivum (The Golden Age Restored),[2] published under the pseudonym Henricus Madathanus, and usually dated to 1621/2. It was soon reprinted in collections, the Musaeum Hermeticum[3] and the Dyas Chymica Tripartita, both 1625 (Frankfurt, same publisher).

He wrote also the Thesaurus et Armamentarium Medico-Chymicum (1631), a medical work.[3]

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
