LIST
OF
NEW AND RARE PLANTS, &c.
"The plants having Br. MSS. annexed form new genera, described in the manuscripts of Mr. Brown. To this gentleman's kindness I am indebted for the list, which he made out from a collection of dried specimens brought by me into the country, and now in the possession of Sir Joseph Banks. The names without reference are considered by Mr. Brown as applying to new species; and for the few that have been published already, contracted references are given to the works in which they occur, namely, Willdenow's 'Species Plantarum'; Forskal's 'Flora Ægyptiaco-Arabica'; Vahl's 'Symbolæ Botanicæ' ; and the Appendix to the Travels of Mr. Bruce."
